pandas.core.window.Expanding.quantile

Expanding.quantile(quantile, interpolation='linear', **kwargs) [source]

expanding quantile.

Parameters:

quantile : float Quantile to compute. 0 <= quantile <= 1. interpolation : {‘linear’, ‘lower’, ‘higher’, ‘midpoint’, ‘nearest’} New in version 0.23.0. 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. **kwargs: For compatibility with other expanding methods. Has no effect on the result.

Returns:

Series or DataFrame Returned object type is determined by the caller of the expanding calculation.
