The pandas DataFrame has a dozen statistical methods. The following table lists these methods, along with a short description of each:
Method |
Description |

This method returns a small table with descriptive statistics. |
count |
This method returns the number of non-NaN items. |
mad |
This method calculates the mean absolute deviation, which is a robust measure similar to standard deviation. |
median |
This method returns the median. This is equivalent to the value at the 50th percentile. |
min |
This method returns the minimum value. |
max |
This method returns the maximum value. |
mode |
This method returns the mode, which is the most frequently occurring value. |
std |

var |
