What are quantiles in NumPy?

Quantiles are values that divide your data into equal-sized intervals. In NumPy, you can calculate them using the numpy.quantile() function.

How do I use the numpy.quantile function?

You can use it by passing your data array and the desired quantile value. For example: numpy.quantile(data, 0.5) gives you the median.

Can you give me an example with a dataset?

Sure! If you have an array like data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], calling numpy.quantile(data, 0.25) will return 2. This is the first quartile.

What if I want multiple quantiles at once?

You can pass a list of quantiles to the function. For example, numpy.quantile(data, [0.25, 0.5, 0.75]) will return the first, second, and third quartiles.
