+        Squeeze 1 dimensional axis objects into scalars.
+
+        Series or DataFrames with a single element are squeezed to a scalar.
+        DataFrames with a single column or a single row are squeezed to a
+        Series. Otherwise the object is unchanged.
+
+        This method is most useful when you don't know if your
+        object is a Series or DataFrame, but you do know it has just a single
+        column. In that case you can safely call `squeeze` to ensure you have a
+        Series.
+
+        **Examples:**
+            >>> primes = bpd.Series([2, 3, 5, 7])
+
+            Slicing might produce a Series with a single value:
+
+            >>> even_primes = primes[primes % 2 == 0]
+            >>> even_primes
+            0    2
+            dtype: Int64
+
+            >>> even_primes.squeeze()
+            np.int64(2)
+
+            Squeezing objects with more than one value in every axis does nothing:
+
+            >>> odd_primes = primes[primes % 2 == 1]
+            >>> odd_primes
+            1    3
+            2    5
+            3    7
+            dtype: Int64
+
+            >>> odd_primes.squeeze()
+            1    3
+            2    5
+            3    7
+            dtype: Int64
+
+            Squeezing is even more effective when used with DataFrames.
+
+            >>> df = bpd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [3, 4]], columns=['a', 'b'])
+            >>> df
+               a  b
+            0  1  2
+            1  3  4
+            <BLANKLINE>
+            [2 rows x 2 columns]
+
+            Slicing a single column will produce a DataFrame with the columns
+            having only one value:
+
+            >>> df_a = df[['a']]
+            >>> df_a
+               a
+            0  1
+            1  3
+            <BLANKLINE>
+            [2 rows x 1 columns]
+
+            So the columns can be squeezed down, resulting in a Series:
+
+            >>> df_a.squeeze('columns')
+            0    1
+            1    3
+            Name: a, dtype: Int64
+
+            Slicing a single row from a single column will produce a single
+            scalar DataFrame:
+
+            >>> df_0a = df.loc[[0], ['a']]
+            >>> df_0a
+               a
+            0  1
+            <BLANKLINE>
+            [1 rows x 1 columns]
+
+            Squeezing the rows produces a single scalar Series:
+
+            >>> df_0a.squeeze('rows')
+            a    1
+            Name: 0, dtype: Int64
+
+            Squeezing all axes will project directly into a scalar:
+
+            >>> df_0a.squeeze()
+            np.int64(1)
+
+        Args:
+            axis ({0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns', None}, default None):
+                A specific axis to squeeze. By default, all length-1 axes are
+                squeezed. For `Series` this parameter is unused and defaults to `None`.
+
+        Returns:
+            DataFrame, Series, or scalar:
+                The projection after squeezing `axis` or all the axes.
