pandas.core.window.rolling.Rolling.median

Rolling.median(engine=None, engine_kwargs=None, **kwargs)[source]

Calculate the rolling median.

Parameters

engine:str, default None

• 'cython' : Runs the operation through C-extensions from cython.

• 'numba' : Runs the operation through JIT compiled code from numba.

• None : Defaults to 'cython' or globally setting compute.use_numba

  New in version 1.3.0.

engine_kwargs:dict, default None

• For 'cython' engine, there are no accepted engine_kwargs

• For 'numba' engine, the engine can accept nopython, nogil and parallel dictionary keys. The values must either be True or False. The default engine_kwargs for the 'numba' engine is {'nopython': True, 'nogil': False, 'parallel': False}

  New in version 1.3.0.

**kwargs

For NumPy compatibility and will not have an effect on the result.

Returns

Series or DataFrame

Return type is the same as the original object.

Examples

Compute the rolling median of a series with a window size of 3.

>>> s = pd.Series([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> s.rolling(3).median()
0    NaN
1    NaN
2    1.0
3    2.0
4    3.0
