DataFrame.slice_shift(self: ~ FrameOrSeries, periods: int = 1, axis=0) → ~FrameOrSeries[source]

Equivalent to shift without copying data.

The shifted data will not include the dropped periods and the shifted axis will be smaller than the original.

Parameters

Notes

While the slice_shift is faster than shift, you may pay for it later during alignment.
