ray.data.Dataset.min#

Dataset.min(on: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]] = None, ignore_nulls: bool = True) → Union[Any, Dict[str, Any]][source]#

Compute minimum over entire dataset.

Note

This operation will trigger execution of the lazy transformations performed on this dataset.

Examples

>>> import ray
>>> ray.data.range(100).min("id")
0
>>> ray.data.from_items([
...     {"A": i, "B": i**2}
...     for i in range(100)]).min(["A", "B"])
{'min(A)': 0, 'min(B)': 0}
Parameters

  • on – a column name or a list of column names to aggregate.

  • ignore_nulls – Whether to ignore null values. If True, null values will be ignored when computing the min; if False, if a null value is encountered, the output will be None. We consider np.nan, None, and pd.NaT to be null values. Default is True.

Returns

The min result.

For different values of on, the return varies:

  • on=None: an dict containing the column-wise min of all columns,

  • on="col": a scalar representing the min of all items in column "col",

  • on=["col_1", ..., "col_n"]: an n-column dict containing the column-wise min of the provided columns.

If the dataset is empty, all values are null, or any value is null AND ignore_nulls is False, then the output will be None.
