nanquantile

nanquantile(a, q, axis=None, *, ignore_inf=False, validate=True)

Return linear-interpolation quantiles while skipping NaN values.

Parameters

a : array_like

Input data. Supported numeric inputs are normalized to a contiguous kernel array when validate=True. Computed reducers promote integer and bool inputs to float64; exact selection reducers keep integer and bool dtypes where the selected value can be returned exactly. Complex and object arrays are not supported.

q : scalar or array_like

Quantile or quantiles in [0, 1]. A scalar q returns a scalar for axis=None or one output array for axis reductions. Multiple q values are returned on a leading output axis.

axis : None, 0, -1, or int = None

Axis to reduce. None reduces the whole array. 0 reduces strided reducing-axis slices into the remaining shape. -1 and ndim - 1 reduce contiguous slices. Other axes raise NotImplementedError.

ignore_inf : bool = False

If False, skip only NaN values and keep +/-inf values, matching NumPy’s nan* reducers. If True, skip all non-finite values.

validate : bool = True

If True, check dtype, dimensionality, contiguity, and axis validity before entering the Rust kernel. If False, the caller must provide a contiguous supported kernel dtype (float32, float64, bool, or a NumPy integer dtype). validate=False skips dtype promotion: integer and bool arrays are reduced directly, while complex and object arrays remain unsupported.

Returns

out : float or ndarray

Interpolated percentile result. Multiple q values are returned on a leading axis, matching NumPy’s output layout.

Notes

NaN-aware reducers skip NaN values directly, without building a filtered copy of the input.
