pyspark.pandas.DataFrame.quantile

DataFrame.quantile(q: Union[float, Iterable[float]] = 0.5, axis: Union[int, str] = 0, numeric_only: bool = True, accuracy: int = 10000) → Union[DataFrame, Series]

Return value at the given quantile.

Note

Unlike pandas’, the quantile in pandas-on-Spark is an approximated quantile based upon approximate percentile computation because computing quantile across a large dataset is extremely expensive.

Parameters

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

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

axisint or str, default 0 or ‘index’

Can only be set to 0 now.

numeric_onlybool, default True

If False, the quantile of datetime and time delta data will be computed as well. Can only be set to True now.

accuracyint, optional

Default accuracy of approximation. Larger value means better accuracy. The relative error can be deduced by 1.0 / accuracy.

Returns

Series or DataFrame

If q is an array, a DataFrame will be returned where the index is q, the columns are the columns of self, and the values are the quantiles. If q is a float, a Series will be returned where the index is the columns of self and the values are the quantiles.

Examples

>>> psdf = ps.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 'b': [6, 7, 8, 9, 0]})
>>> psdf
   a  b
0  1  6
1  2  7
2  3  8
3  4  9
4  5  0

>>> psdf.quantile(.5)
a    3.0
b    7.0
Name: 0.5, dtype: float64

>>> psdf.quantile([.25, .5, .75])
        a    b
0.25  2.0  6.0
0.50  3.0  7.0
0.75  4.0  8.0
