quantile
Find percentile stats of a given column
You can use the pandas.DataFrame.quantile() function. If you look at the API for quantile(), you will see it takes an argument for how to do interpolation. If you want a quantile that falls between two positions in your data: ‘linear’, ‘lower’, ‘higher’, ‘midpoint’, or ‘nearest’. By default, it performs linear interpolation. These interpolation methods are … Read more
what’s the inverse of the quantile function on a pandas Series?
I had the same question as you did! I found an easy way of getting the inverse of quantile using scipy. #libs required from scipy import stats import pandas as pd import numpy as np #generate ramdom data with same seed (to be reproducible) np.random.seed(seed=1) df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.uniform(0,1,(10)), columns=[‘a’]) #quantile function x = df.quantile(0.5)[0] #inverse … Read more
