Understanding pandas GroupBy: Simplifying DataFrame Operations with Custom Functions
Understanding the apply Method on DataFrames and GroupBy Objects The behavior of pandas.DataFrame.apply(myfunc) is application of myfunc along columns. This means that when you call df.apply(myfunc), pandas will apply myfunc to each column of the DataFrame, element-wise. On the other hand, the behavior of pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.apply is more complicated and can be tricky to understand. This difference in behavior shows up for functions like myfunc where frame.apply(myfunc) != myfunc(frame). The question at hand is how to group a DataFrame, apply myfunc along columns of each individual frame (in each group), and then paste together the results.
