Pandas version checks
- I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on
main
here
Location of the documentation
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.Series.interpolate.html
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.interpolate.html
Documentation problem
There is documentation under the limit_direction argument that refers to 'backfill' 'pad' 'bfill' and 'ffill' methods, but those are not on the list of supported methods.
Also there is no mention of how someone would do something like bfill
or ffill
if they look up the interpolate doc instead.
Suggested fix for documentation
Get rid of all parts that reference bfill
ffill
pad
backfill
as allowable methods.
Consider adding bfill
and ffill
to the "See also" section if people have come to interpolate still looking for that.
