-            The function to apply to each group.
-        by : PandasQueryCompiler, mapping, function, label, or list of labels
-            Used to determine the groups for the groupby.
-        axis : 0 or 1
-            Split along rows (0) or columns (1).
-        drop : boolean
-            The flag in charge of the logic of inserting index into DataFrame columns.
