Currently I am using the following:
pgrades = [scipy.percentileofscore(grades,x) for x in grades]
I need the percentile of each number in grades. The problem is that it
takes a long time (a few minutes) because there are 15,000 items in
the list.
does anyone know is there is a faster way?
from scipy import stats
pgrades = (stats.rankdata(grades)-1) / (len(grades)-1) * 100
You will probably want to ask further scipy questions on the scipy mailing list.
