Parameters
----------
arg : function or dict
    Function to use for aggregating groups. If a function, must either

    passed a dict, the keys must be DataFrame column names.

      - dict of columns -> functions
      - nested dict of names -> dicts of functions

Notes
-----
Numpy functions mean/median/prod/sum/std/var are special cased so the
default behavior is applying the function along axis=0
(e.g., np.mean(arr_2d, axis=0)) as opposed to
mimicking the default Numpy behavior (e.g., np.mean(arr_2d)).
