Meaning of quantile names
When profiling a numerical column, I get these quantiles:
"quantiles": {
"0": 657.04,
"1": 999.18,
"2": 1335.71
},
Based on the data, I guess these are the 25, 50, and 75 percentiles. I feel like 0, 1, and 2 is not meaningful to the human reader, and also not very extendable to other quantiles in the future.
Shouldn't this field be called quartiles (with an r)?
PS. Thanks for the quick feedback to my other questions!
@ian-contiamo I do agree that the keys may be a problem for human interpretability. @scottiegarcia may have some additional thoughts. However, I do believe quantiles is correct as we allow for the number of quantiles to be different than 4 (default).
I think in this case, maybe "0" -> "1" first quantile of 4. However, maybe there needs to be info on count of quantiles. My only concern with specifying the percentile is that it is open-ended since n is configurable.
