sciPy stats.scoreatpercentile() function

scipy.stats.scoreatpercentile(a, score, kind='rank') function helps us to calculate the score at a given percentile of the input array. The score at percentile = 50 is the median. If the desired quantile lies between two data points, we interpolate between them, according to the value of interpolation.

Parameters : arr : [array_like] input array. per : [array_like] Percentile at which we need the score. limit : [tuple] the lower and upper limits within which to compute the percentile. axis : [int] axis along which we need to calculate the score. Results : Score at Percentile relative to the array element.

Code #1:

Python3 1==

# scoreatpercentile
from scipy import stats
import numpy as np 

# 1D array  
arr = [20, 2, 7, 1, 7, 7, 34, 3]

print("arr : ", arr)  

print ("\nScore at 50th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 50))

print ("\nScore at 90th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 90))

print ("\nScore at 10th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 10))

print ("\nScore at 100th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 100))

print ("\nScore at 30th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 30))

Output:

arr :  [20, 2, 7, 1, 7, 7, 34, 3]

Score at 50th percentile :  7.0

Score at 90th percentile :  24.2

Score at 10th percentile :  1.7

Score at 100th percentile :  34.0

Score at 30th percentile :  3.4

Code #2:

Python3 1==

# scoreatpercentile
from scipy import stats
import numpy as np 

arr = [[14, 17, 12, 33, 44],   
       [15, 6, 27, 8, 19],  
       [23, 2, 54, 1, 4, ]] 

print("arr : ", arr)  

print ("\nScore at 50th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 50))

print ("\nScore at 50th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 50, axis = 1))

print ("\nScore at 50th percentile : ", 
       stats.scoreatpercentile(arr, 50, axis = 0))

Output:

arr :  [[14, 17, 12, 33, 44], [15, 6, 27, 8, 19], [23, 2, 54, 1, 4]]

Score at 50th percentile :  15.0

Score at 50th percentile :  [ 17.  15.   4.]

Score at 50th percentile :  [ 15.   6.  27.   8.  19.]
