pandas.Panel4D

class pandas.Panel4D(data=None, labels=None, items=None, major_axis=None, minor_axis=None, copy=False, dtype=None)

Panel4D is a 4-Dimensional named container very much like a Panel, but having 4 named dimensions. It is intended as a test bed for more N-Dimensional named containers.

DEPRECATED. Panel4D is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. The recommended way to represent these types of n-dimensional data are with the xarray package. Pandas provides a .to_xarray() method to automate this conversion.

Parameters:	data : ndarray (labels x items x major x minor), or dict of Panels labels : Index or array-like items : Index or array-like major_axis : Index or array-like: axis=2 minor_axis : Index or array-like: axis=3 dtype : dtype, default None Data type to force, otherwise infer copy : boolean, default False Copy data from inputs. Only affects DataFrame / 2d ndarray input
