cudf.Series.quantile#

Series.quantile(q=0.5, interpolation='linear', exact=True, quant_index=True)[source]#

Return values at the given quantile.

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

0 <= q <= 1, the quantile(s) to compute

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.

exactboolean

Whether to use approximate or exact quantile algorithm.

quant_indexboolean

Whether to use the list of quantiles as index.

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.
