verticapy.vDataFrame.max#
- vDataFrame.max(columns: str | list[str] | None = None, **agg_kwargs) TableSample #
Aggregates the vDataFrame by applying the
MAX
aggregation, which calculates the maximum value, for the specified columns. This aggregation provides insights into the highest values within the dataset, aiding in understanding the data distribution.Parameters#
- columns: SQLColumns, optional
List of the vDataColumns names. If empty, all vDataColumns are used.
- **agg_kwargs
Any optional parameter to pass to the Aggregate function.
Returns#
- TableSample
result.
Examples#
For this example, we will use the following dataset:
import verticapy as vp data = vp.vDataFrame( { "x": [1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 15, 20, 22], "y": [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1], "z": [10, 12, 2, 1, 9, 8, 1, 3], } )
Now, let’s calculate the maximum for specific columns.
data.max( columns = ["x", "y", "z"], )
max "x" 22.0 "y" 2.0 "z" 12.0 Note
All the calculations are pushed to the database.
