atoti.array.quantile()#
- atoti.array.quantile(measure, /, q, *, mode='inc', interpolation='linear')#
Return a measure equal to the requested quantile of the elements of the passed array measure.
Here is how to obtain the same behavior as these standard quantile calculation methods:
R-1:
mode="centered"
andinterpolation="lower"
R-2:
mode="centered"
andinterpolation="midpoint"
R-3:
mode="simple"
andinterpolation="nearest"
R-4:
mode="simple"
andinterpolation="linear"
R-5:
mode="centered"
andinterpolation="linear"
R-6 (similar to Excel’s
PERCENTILE.EXC
):mode="exc"
andinterpolation="linear"
R-7 (similar to Excel’s
PERCENTILE.INC
):mode="inc"
andinterpolation="linear"
R-8 and R-9 are not supported
The formulae given for the calculation of the quantile index assume a 1-based indexing system.
- Parameters:
measure (VariableMeasureConvertible) – The measure to get the quantile of.
q (float | VariableMeasureConvertible) – The quantile to take. For instance,
0.95
is the 95th percentile and0.5
is the median.mode (Literal['simple', 'centered', 'inc', 'exc']) –
The method used to calculate the index of the quantile. Available options are, when searching for the q quantile of a vector
X
:simple
:len(X) * q
centered
:len(X) * q + 0.5
exc
:(len(X) + 1) * q
inc
:(len(X) - 1) * q + 1
interpolation (Literal['linear', 'higher', 'lower', 'nearest', 'midpoint']) –
If the quantile index is not an integer, the interpolation decides what value is returned. The different options are, considering a quantile index
k
withi < k < j
for a sorted vectorX
:linear
:v = X[i] + (X[j] - X[i]) * (k - i)
lower
:v = X[i]
higher
:v = X[j]
nearest
:v = X[i]
orv = X[j]
depending on which ofi
orj
is closest tok
midpoint
:v = (X[i] + X[j]) / 2
