  Return value at the given quantile, a la numpy.percentile.

  Parameters : | q : float or array-like, default 0.5 (50% quantile) 0 <= q <= 1, the quantile(s) to compute
  Returns : | quantile : float or Series if `q` is an array, a Series will be returned where the index is `q` and the values are the quantiles.

  Examples

      >>> s = Series([1, 2, 3, 4])
      >>> s.quantile(.5)
          2.5
      >>> s.quantile([.25, .5, .75])
      0.25    1.75
