pyspark.pandas.window.Rolling.min

Rolling.min() → FrameLike[source]

Calculate the rolling minimum.

Note

the current implementation of this API uses Spark’s Window without specifying partition specification. This leads to move all data into single partition in single machine and could cause serious performance degradation. Avoid this method against very large dataset.

Returns
Series or DataFrame

Returned object type is determined by the caller of the rolling calculation.

Calling object with a Series.

DataFrame.min

Examples

>>> s = ps.Series([4, 3, 5, 2, 6])
>>> s
0    4
1    3
2    5
3    2
4    6
dtype: int64
>>> s.rolling(2).min()
0    NaN
1    3.0
2    3.0
3    2.0
4    2.0
dtype: float64
>>> s.rolling(3).min()
0    NaN
1    NaN
2    3.0
3    2.0
4    2.0
dtype: float64

For DataFrame, each rolling minimum is computed column-wise.

>>> df = ps.DataFrame({"A": s.to_numpy(), "B": s.to_numpy() ** 2})
>>> df
   A   B
0  4  16
1  3   9
2  5  25
3  2   4
4  6  36
>>> df.rolling(2).min()
     A    B
0  NaN  NaN
1  3.0  9.0
2  3.0  9.0
3  2.0  4.0
4  2.0  4.0
>>> df.rolling(3).min()
     A    B
0  NaN  NaN
1  NaN  NaN
2  3.0  9.0
3  2.0  4.0
4  2.0  4.0
