q – (float) float in range of [0,100]. Percentile to compute, which must be between 0 and 100 inclusive.
axis – (int) Axis or axes along which the percentiles are computed. The default is to compute the percentile along a flattened version of the array.

Examples:
>>> a = array([[10, 7, 4], [3, 2, 1]]) >>> a array([[10, 7, 4] [3, 2, 1]]) >>> percentile(a, 50) 3.5 >>> percentile(a, 50, axis=0) array([6.5, 4.5, 2.5]) >>> percentile(a, 50, axis=1) array([7.0, 2.0])
