quantile¶

paddle. quantile ( x, q, axis=None, keepdim=False ) [source]

Compute the quantile of the input along the specified axis.

Parameters

• x (Tensor) – The input Tensor, it’s data type can be float32, float64.

• q (int|float|list) – The q for calculate quantile, which should be in range [0, 1]. If q is a list, each q will be calculated and the first dimension of output is same to the number of q .

• axis (int|list, optional) – The axis along which to calculate quantile. axis should be int or list of int. axis should be in range [-D, D), where D is the dimensions of x . If axis is less than 0, it works the same way as \(axis + D\). If axis is a list, quantile is calculated over all elements of given axises. If axis is None, quantile is calculated over all elements of x. Default is None.

• keepdim (bool, optional) – Whether to reserve the reduced dimension(s) in the output Tensor. If keepdim is True, the dimensions of the output Tensor is the same as x except in the reduced dimensions(it is of size 1 in this case). Otherwise, the shape of the output Tensor is squeezed in axis . Default is False.

• name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

Tensor, results of quantile along axis of x. If data type of x is float64, data type of results will be float64, otherwise data type will be float32.

Examples

import paddle

x = paddle.randn((2,3))
#[[-1.28740597,  0.49533170, -1.00698614],
# [-1.11656201, -1.01010525, -2.23457789]])

y1 = paddle.quantile(x, q=0.5, axis=[0, 1])
# y1 = -1.06333363

y2 = paddle.quantile(x, q=0.5, axis=1)
# y2 = [-1.00698614, -1.11656201]

y3 = paddle.quantile(x, q=[0.3, 0.5], axis=1)
# y3 =[[-1.11915410, -1.56376839],
#      [-1.00698614, -1.11656201]]

y4 = paddle.quantile(x, q=0.8, axis=1, keepdim=True)
# y4 = [[-0.10559537],
#       [-1.05268800]])
