xarray.Variable.quantile¶

Variable.quantile(q, dim=None, interpolation='linear', keep_attrs=None)¶

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`, 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`. keep_attrs (bool, optional) – If True, the variable’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 – 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.
Return type:	Variable
