It runs nested groupby-apply operations over each given dimension until no further grouping needs to be done, then applies the given function ""apply_fn"" ``` def nested_groupby_apply(dataarray, groupby, apply_fn): if len(groupby) == 1: return dataarray.groupby(groupby[0]).apply(apply_fn) else: return dataarray.groupby(groupby[0]).apply(nested_groupby_apply, groupby = groupby[1:], apply_fn = apply_fn) ``` Obviously performance can potentially be quite poor. Passing the dimensions to group over in order of increasing length will reduce your cost a little.","{""total_count"": 3, ""+1"": 3, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,58117200
