pandas.core.window.rolling.Rolling.quantile¶

Rolling.quantile(self, quantile, interpolation='linear', **kwargs)[source]¶

Calculate the rolling quantile.

Parameters

quantilefloat

Quantile to compute. 0 <= quantile <= 1.

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

New in version 0.23.0.

This optional parameter specifies the interpolation method to use, when the desired quantile lies between two data points i and j:

linear: i + (j - i) * fraction, where fraction is the fractional part of the index surrounded by i and j.

lower: i.

higher: j.

nearest: i or j whichever is nearest.

midpoint: (i + j) / 2.

**kwargs

For compatibility with other rolling methods. Has no effect on the result.

Returns

Series or DataFrame: Returned object type is determined by the caller of the rolling calculation.

DataFrame.quantile: Computes values at the given quantile over requested axis in DataFrame.
