VertexFrame quantiles

---

quantiles(self, column_name, quantiles)

New frame with Quantiles and their values.

Parameters:

column_name : unicode

The column to calculate quantiles.

quantiles : list

What is being requested.

Returns:

: Frame

A new frame with two columns (float64): requested Quantiles and their respective values.

Calculate quantiles on the given column.

Examples

Consider Frame my_frame, which accesses a frame that contains a single column final_sale_price:

>>> my_frame.inspect()
[#]  final_sale_price
=====================
[0]               100
[1]               250
[2]                95
[3]               179
[4]               315
[5]               660
[6]               540
[7]               420
[8]               250
[9]               335

To calculate 10th, 50th, and 100th quantile:

>>> quantiles_frame = my_frame.quantiles('final_sale_price', [10, 50, 100])
[===Job Progress===]

A new Frame containing the requested Quantiles and their respective values will be returned :

>>> quantiles_frame.inspect()
[#]  Quantiles  final_sale_price_QuantileValue
==============================================
[0]       10.0                            95.0
[1]       50.0                           250.0
[2]      100.0                           660.0
