ut contains integers or floats smaller than ``float64``, the output data-type is ``float64``. Otherwise, the output data-type is the same as that of the input. If `out` is specified, that array is returned instead. See Also -------- quantile nanmean, nanmedian nanmedian : equivalent to ``nanquantile(..., 0.5)`` nanpercentile : same as nanquantile, but with q in the range [0, 100]. Notes ----- The behavior of `numpy.nanquantile` is the same as that of `numpy.quantile` (ignoring nan values). For more information, please see `numpy.quantile`. Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> a = np.array([[10., 7., 4.], [3., 2., 1.]]) >>> a[0][1] = np.nan >>> a array([[10., nan, 4.], [ 3., 2., 1.]]) >>> np.quantile(a, 0.5) np.float64(nan) >>> np.nanquantile(a, 0.5) 3.0 >>> np.nanquantile(a, 0.5, axis=0) array([6.5, 2. , 2.5]) >>> np.nanquantile(a, 0.5, axis=1, keepdims=True) array([[7.], [2.]]) >>> m = np.nanquantile(a, 0.5, axis=0) >>> out = np.zeros_like(m) >>> np.nanquantile(a, 0.5, axis=0, out=out) array([6.5, 2. , 2.5]) >>> m array([6.5, 2. , 2.5]) >>> b = a.copy() >>> np.nanquantile(b, 0.5, axis=1, overwrite_input=True) array([7., 2.]) >>> assert not np.all(a==b) References ---------- ..
