ruby - 计算百分位数 (Ruby)

Question

我的代码基于here描述的方法和 here .

def fraction?(number)
  number - number.truncate
end

def percentile(param_array, percentage)
  another_array = param_array.to_a.sort
  r = percentage.to_f * (param_array.size.to_f - 1) + 1
  if r <= 1 then return another_array[0]
  elsif r >= another_array.size then return another_array[another_array.size - 1]
  end
  ir = r.truncate
  another_array[ir] + fraction?((another_array[ir].to_f - another_array[ir - 1].to_f).abs)
end

使用示例:

test_array = [95.1772, 95.1567, 95.1937, 95.1959, 95.1442, 95.061, 95.1591, 95.1195,
95.1065, 95.0925, 95.199, 95.1682]
test_values = [0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0]

test_values.each do |value|
  puts value.to_s + ": " + percentile(test_array, value).to_s
end

输出:

0.0: 95.061
0.1: 95.1205
0.2: 95.1325
0.3: 95.1689
0.4: 95.1692
0.5: 95.1615
0.6: 95.1773
0.7: 95.1862
0.8: 95.2102
0.9: 95.1981
1.0: 95.199

这里的问题是第 80 个百分点高于第 90 个百分点和第 100 个百分点。但是，据我所知，我的实现如所描述的那样，并且它返回给定示例的正确答案 (0.9)。

我的代码中是否存在我没​​有看到的错误？或者有更好的方法吗？

脚本

这听起来像是一个家庭作业问题。不管怎样，这件事还是挺有趣的。

# Score class
class Score
  attr_accessor :value, :percentile
  def initialize(score)
    self.value = score.to_f
  end
  def <=>(foo)
    self.value <=> foo.value
  end
end

# load scores
scores = []
DATA.each do |line|
  scores << Score.new(line)
end
scores.sort!
scores_count = scores.size

# iterate through scores and calculate percentile
scores.each_with_index do |s, i|

  # L/N(100) = P
  # L = number of scores beneath this score (score array index)
  # N = total number of scores
  # P = percentile
  s.percentile = (i.to_f/scores_count.to_f*100).ceil
end

# output
puts "What is the precise percentile of each score"
scores.each_with_index do |s,i|
  puts "#{s.value} is in the #{s.percentile} percentile"
end

# bonus: what score is in the Xth percentile?
puts "\nWhat score is in the Xth percentile?"
percentiles = [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]
percentiles.each do |p|

  # P/100(N) = L
  # P = percentile
  # N = total number of scores
  # L = score array index
  l = (p.to_f/100*scores_count).ceil
  puts "#{p} percentile? #{scores[l].value}"
end
