pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.quantile

DataFrameGroupBy.quantile(self, q=0.5, interpolation='linear')

Return group values at the given quantile, a la numpy.percentile.

Parameters:

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

Value(s) between 0 and 1 providing the quantile(s) to compute.

interpolation : {‘linear’, ‘lower’, ‘higher’, ‘midpoint’, ‘nearest’}

Method to use when the desired quantile falls between two points.

Returns:

Series or DataFrame

Return type determined by caller of GroupBy object.

... ], columns=['key', 'val'])
>>> df.groupby('key').quantile()
