What is the easiest way to calculate percentiles when using Python?
The easiest and the most efficient way you can calculate percentiles in Python is to make use of NumPy arrays and its functions.
Consider the following example:
import numpy as np
a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7])
p = np.percentile(a, 50)  #Returns the 50th percentile which is also the median
print(p)
