+        **Categorical Dtypes**
+
+        Rows with categorical type will be counted as one group
+        if they have same categories and order.
+        In the example below, even though ``a``, ``c``, and ``d``
+        all have the same data types of ``category``,
+        only ``c`` and ``d`` will be counted as one group
+        since ``a`` doesn't have the same categories.
