• matrix (pandas.DataFrame) – matrix to be compressed. Index(s) must be numeric.
• nocls (nrows,) – Number of rows/columns in the output matrix. If None then will be same as input matrix.

Returns:

If nrows/ncols is None then the corresponding index will be unchanged. Otherwise, index will be integer 0 to nrows/ncols .
