[python] pandas resample documentation

So I completely understand how to use resample, but the documentation does not do a good job explaining the options.

So most options in the resample function are pretty straight forward except for these two:

• rule : the offset string or object representing target conversion
• how : string, method for down- or re-sampling, default to ‘mean’

So from looking at as many examples as I found online I can see for rule you can do 'D' for day, 'xMin' for minutes, 'xL' for milliseconds, but that is all I could find.

for how I have seen the following: 'first', np.max, 'last', 'mean', and 'n1n2n3n4...nx' where nx is the first letter of each column index.

So is there somewhere in the documentation that I am missing that displays every option for pandas.resample's rule and how inputs? If yes, where because I could not find it. If no, what are all the options for them?

There's more to it than this, but you're probably looking for this list:

B   business day frequency
C   custom business day frequency (experimental)
D   calendar day frequency
W   weekly frequency
M   month end frequency
BM  business month end frequency
MS  month start frequency
BMS business month start frequency
Q   quarter end frequency
BQ  business quarter endfrequency
QS  quarter start frequency
BQS business quarter start frequency
A   year end frequency
BA  business year end frequency
AS  year start frequency
BAS business year start frequency
H   hourly frequency
T   minutely frequency
S   secondly frequency
L   milliseconds
U   microseconds
