quantile
(q, dim=None, interpolation='linear', keep_attrs=False)¶ Compute the qth quantile of the data along the specified dimension.
Returns the qth quantiles(s) of the array elements.
Parameters: - q : float in range of [0,1] (or sequence of floats)
Quantile to compute, which must be between 0 and 1 inclusive.
- dim : str or sequence of str, optional
Dimension(s) over which to apply quantile.
- 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 < j
:- linear:
i + (j - i) * fraction
, wherefraction
is the fractional part of the index surrounded byi
andj
. - lower:
i
. - higher:
j
. - nearest:
i
orj
, whichever is nearest. - midpoint:
(i + j) / 2
.
- linear:
- keep_attrs : bool, optional
If True, the dataset’s attributes (attrs) will be copied from the original object to the new one. If False (default), the new object will be returned without attributes.
Returns: - quantiles : DataArray
If q is a single quantile, then the result is a scalar. If multiple percentiles are given, first axis of the result corresponds to the quantile and a quantile dimension is added to the return array. The other dimensions are the
dimensions that remain after the reduction of the array.
