# scipy.stats.scoreatpercentile

`scipy.stats.``scoreatpercentile`(a, per, limit=())

  Calculate the score at the given per percentile of the sequence a.

  For example, the score at per=50 is the median. If the desired quantile lies between two data points, we interpolate between them. If the parameter limit is provided, it should be a tuple (lower, upper) of two values. Values of a outside this (closed) interval will be ignored.

  Parameters : | a : ndarray Values from which to extract score. per : int or float Percentile at which to extract score. limit : tuple, optional Tuple of two scalars, the lower and upper limits within which to compute the percentile.
  Returns : | score : float Score at percentile.
