- Since `pandas` uses `numpy` for these computations under the hood, I would have suggested to use `df.mean(keepdims=True)`, but apparently this has been explicitly disabled by `pandas`.
However, after looking into the [docs](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.aggregate.html#pandas.DataFrame.aggregate), I noticed you should be able to get the desired result as follows:- ```python
- >>> df.agg(["mean"])
- A B
- mean 2.5 6.5
- ```
- The list can also contain functions and/or more operations.
- Note that this will introduce a row (with index) for each function.
