bigframes.pandas.Series.max

Series.max() → Any

Return the maximum of the values over the requested axis.

If you want the index of the maximum, use idxmax. This is the equivalent of the numpy.ndarray method argmax.

Examples:

Calculating the max of a Series:

>>> s = bpd.Series([1, 3])
>>> s
0    1
1    3
dtype: Int64

>>> s.max()
np.int64(3)

Calculating the max of a Series containing NA values:

>>> s = bpd.Series([1, 3, pd.NA])
>>> s
0       1
1       3
2    <NA>
dtype: Int64

>>> s.max()
np.int64(3)

Returns:

Scalar.

Return type:

scalar
