q : float or array-like, default 0.5 (50% quantile)

0 <= q <= 1, the quantile(s) to compute

Returns:

quantile : float or Series

if q is an array, a Series will be returned where the index is q and the values are the quantiles.

Examples

>>> s = Series([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> s.quantile(.5)
    2.5
>>> s.quantile([.25, .5, .75])
0.25    1.75
0.50    2.50
0.75    3.25
