numpy.quantile() in Python

29 Nov, 2018
numpy.quantile(arr, q, axis = None) : Compute the qth quantile of the given data (array elements) along the specified axis.
Quantile plays a very important role in Statistics when one deals with the Normal Distribution.In the figure given above, Q2 is the median of the normally distributed data. Q3 - Q2 represents the Interquantile Range of the given dataset.
Parameters :arr : [array_like]input array.q : quantile value.axis : [int or tuples of int]axis along which we want to calculate the quantile value. Otherwise, it will consider arr to be flattened(works on all the axis). axis = 0 means along the column and axis = 1 means working along the row.out : [ndarray, optional]Different array in which we want to place the result. The array must have same dimensions as expected output.
Results : qth quantile of the array (a scalar value if axis is none) or array with quantile values along specified axis.
Code #1:
# Python Program illustrating # numpy.quantile() method import numpy as np    # 1D array arr = [20, 2, 7, 1, 34]  print("arr : ", arr) print("Q2 quantile of arr : ", np.quantile(arr, .50))print("Q1 quantile of arr : ", np.quantile(arr, .25))print("Q3 quantile of arr : ", np.quantile(arr, .75))print("100th quantile of arr : ", np.quantile(arr, .1))     
Output :
arr : [20, 2, 7, 1, 34]
Q2 quantile of arr : 7.0)
Q1 quantile of arr : 2.0)
Q3 quantile of arr : 20.0)
100th quantile of arr : 1.4)

 Code #2:
# Python Program illustrating # numpy.quantile() method import numpy as np   # 2D array arr = [[14, 17, 12, 33, 44],         [15, 6, 27, 8, 19],        [23, 2, 54, 1, 4, ]] print("\narr : \n", arr)      # quantile of the flattened array print("\n50th quantile of arr, axis = None : ", np.quantile(arr, .50)) print("0th quantile of arr, axis = None : ", np.quantile(arr, 0))      # quantile along the axis = 0 print("\n50th quantile of arr, axis = 0 : ", np.quantile(arr, .25, axis = 0)) print("0th quantile of arr, axis = 0 : ", np.quantile(arr, 0, axis = 0))     # quantile along the axis = 1 print("\n50th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : ", np.quantile(arr, .50, axis = 1)) print("0th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : ", np.quantile(arr, 0, axis = 1))    print("\n0th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : \n",    np.quantile(arr, .50, axis = 1, keepdims = True))print("\n0th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : \n",    np.quantile(arr, 0, axis = 1, keepdims = True))
Output :
arr : 
[[14, 17, 12, 33, 44], [15, 6, 27, 8, 19], [23, 2, 54, 1, 4]]

50th quantile of arr, axis = None : 15.0
0th quantile of arr, axis = None : 1)

50th quantile of arr, axis = 0 : [14.5  4.  19.5  4.5 11.5]
0th quantile of arr, axis = 0 : [14  2 12  1  4]

50th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : [17. 15.  4.]
0th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : [12  6  1]

0th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : 
[[17.]
[15.]
[ 4.]]

0th quantile of arr, axis = 1 : 
[[12]
[ 6]
[ 1]]
