Description

Feature Type

• Adding new functionality to pandas
• Changing existing functionality in pandas
• Removing existing functionality in pandas

Problem Description

As of V2 in the code and in the documentation, the quantile method and the rolling quantile method take a different variable for the quantile to be calculated.
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.quantile.html
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.core.window.rolling.Rolling.quantile.html

where we have:
q float for the former (quantile) and
quantile float for the latter (rolling.quantile).

I feel like this is unnecessary and provides a small mental overhead.
I propose that it should be changed to being consistent. Not sure which is better, perhaps q as used in quantile and is shorter but clear.

Feature Description

def rolling.quantile(self,
q,
....):

Alternative Solutions

quantile = q
