ENH: Differing variable name for quantile vs rolling.quantile (original) (raw)

Feature Type

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
