Split-Apply-Combine Aggregation

groupby partitions rows by key, applies an aggregation, transformation, or filter to each partition independently, and recombines the results into a single structure. The distinction matters: agg reduces each group to one row, transform returns a like-indexed result for broadcasting back, and apply is the slow escape hatch.
