+        Return the maximum of the values over the requested axis.
+
+        If you want the *index* of the maximum, use ``idxmax``.
+        This is the equivalent of the ``numpy.ndarray`` method ``argmax``.
+
+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        axis : {index (0)}
+            Axis for the function to be applied on.
+            For `Series` this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.
+
+            For DataFrames, specifying ``axis=None`` will apply the aggregation
+            across both axes.
+

+
+        skipna : bool, default True
+            Exclude NA/null values when computing the result.
+        numeric_only : bool, default False
+            Include only float, int, boolean columns.
+        **kwargs
+            Additional keyword arguments to be passed to the function.
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        scalar or Series (if level specified)
+            The maximum of the values in the Series.
+
+        See Also
+        --------
