source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/numpy/lib/_function_base_impl.py :4521

Signature

def _compute_virtual_index ( n , quantiles , alpha : float , beta : float )

Summary

Compute the floating point indexes of an array for the linear interpolation of quantiles. n : array_like The sample sizes. quantiles : array_like The quantiles values. alpha : float A constant used to correct the index computed. beta : float A constant used to correct the index computed.

Extended Summary

alpha and beta values depend on the chosen method (see quantile documentation)
