pandas.Series.quantile

Series.quantile(q=0.5, interpolation='linear')

Return value at the given quantile.

Parameters

qfloat or array-like, default 0.5 (50% quantile)

The quantile(s) to compute, which can lie in range: 0 <= q <= 1.

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

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.

Returns

float or Series

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

numpy.percentile

Returns the q-th percentile(s) of the array elements.
