i have looked for an answer to this question as it seems pretty simple, but have not been able to find anything yet. Apologies if I missed something. I have pandas version 0.10.0 and I have been experimenting with data of the following form:
import pandas
import numpy as np
import datetime
start_date = datetime.datetime(2009,3,1,6,29,59)
r = pandas.date_range(start_date, periods=12)
cols_1 = ['AAPL', 'AAPL', 'GOOG', 'GOOG', 'GS', 'GS']
cols_2 = ['close', 'rate', 'close', 'rate', 'close', 'rate']
dat = np.random.randn(12, 6)
cols = pandas.MultiIndex.from_arrays([cols_1, cols_2], names=['ticker','field'])
dftst = pandas.DataFrame(dat, columns=cols, index=r)
print dftst
ticker AAPL GOOG GS
field close rate close rate close rate

As you can see, I am trying to represent 3d timeseries data. So I have a timeseries index and MultiIndex columns. I am pretty comfortable with slicing the data. If I wanted just a trailing mean of the close data, I can do the following:
pandas.rolling_mean(dftst.ix[:,::2], 5)
ticker AAPL GOOG GS

What I cannot do is create a new field, like avg_close and assign to it. Ideally I would like to do something like the following:
dftst[:,'avg_close'] = pandas.rolling_mean(dftst.ix[:,::2], 5)
Even if I swap the levels of my MultiIndex, I cannot make it work:
dftst = dftst.swaplevel(1,0,axis=1)
print dftst['close']

I have tried using a Panel object, but so far have not found a quick way to add a field where I have MultiIndex columns, ideally the other level of the columns would be broadcast. I apologize if there have been other posts that answer this question. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
You could also (as a workaround since there isn't really an API that does exactly what you want ) consider a bit of reshaping-fu if you don't want to use a Panel. I wouldn't recommend it on enormous data sets, though: use a Panel for that.

I don't know how to do the broadcasting you want but for strict assignment this should do it:
dftst[(('GOOG', 'avg_close'))] = 7
More specifically but still without broadcasting:
for tic in cols_1:
dftst[(tic, 'avg_close')] = pandas.rolling_mean(dftst[(tic, 'close')],5)
This is a decade old but I had the exact same problem. here is a 1 line way to do what you are looking for. pandas 0.18 as been introduce so rolling mean is a bit different now, but you get the point.
avg_close = dftst.xs('close', axis=1, level=1).rolling(5).mean()
dftst[zip(avg_close.columns, ['avg_close']*len(avg_close.columns))] = avg_close
for this particular problem, it seems like using a Panel object works. I did the following (taking dftst from my original post):
pn = dftst.T.to_panel()
print pn
Out[83]:
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 12 (items) x 3 (major_axis) x 2 (minor_axis)
Items axis: 2009-03-01 06:29:59 to 2009-03-12 06:29:59
Major_axis axis: AAPL to GS
Minor_axis axis: close to rate
If I move the ('close', 'rate') to the Items by doing the following:
pn = pn.transpose(2,0,1)
print pn
Out[91]:
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 2 (items) x 12 (major_axis) x 3 (minor_axis)
Items axis: close to rate
Major_axis axis: 2009-03-01 06:29:59 to 2009-03-12 06:29:59
Minor_axis axis: AAPL to GS
Now I can do a time series operation and add it as a field in the Panel object:
pn['avg_close'] = pandas.rolling_mean(pn['close'], 5)
print pn
Out[93]:
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 3 (items) x 12 (major_axis) x 3 (minor_axis)
Items axis: close to avg_close
Major_axis axis: 2009-03-01 06:29:59 to 2009-03-12 06:29:59
Minor_axis axis: AAPL to GS
print pn['avg_close']
