Pandasdrill

Level 5: Analysis Exercise 37 of 45 Pro

Rolling average

A pandas exercise from Pandasdrill. Solve it with a Python editor in your browser running real pandas, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

Return the 3-day rolling average of `visits`. The first two days do not have three values yet, so they should be NaN.

What this exercise teaches

Each value is the mean of that day and the two days before it. Until the window is full, rolling returns NaN, unless you lower min_periods.

A hint if you get stuck

rolling(n) builds a moving window of n rows. Follow it with an aggregation such as mean().
