在Python中如何找到列表的中值?列表可以是任意大小的，并且数字不保证是任何特定的顺序。
如果列表包含偶数个元素，则函数应返回中间两个元素的平均值。
以下是一些例子(为了便于展示，进行了排序):
median([1]) == 1
median([1, 1]) == 1
median([1, 1, 2, 4]) == 1.5
median([0, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 9]) == 6
median([0, 0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 6, 8]) == 2
当前回答
def median(array):
"""Calculate median of the given list.
"""
# TODO: use statistics.median in Python 3
array = sorted(array)
half, odd = divmod(len(array), 2)
if odd:
return array[half]
return (array[half - 1] + array[half]) / 2.0

你可以使用这个列表。排序以避免创建已排序的新列表，并对列表进行排序。
此外，你不应该使用list作为变量名，因为它会掩盖python自己的列表。
def median(l):
half = len(l) // 2
l.sort()
if not len(l) % 2:
return (l[half - 1] + l[half]) / 2.0
return l[half]
下面是不使用中值函数就能找到中值的乏味方法:
def median(*arg):
order(arg)
numArg = len(arg)
half = int(numArg/2)
if numArg/2 ==half:
print((arg[half-1]+arg[half])/2)
else:
print(int(arg[half]))
def order(tup):
ordered = [tup[i] for i in range(len(tup))]
test(ordered)
while(test(ordered)):
test(ordered)
print(ordered)
def test(ordered):
whileloop = 0
for i in range(len(ordered)-1):
print(i)
if (ordered[i]>ordered[i+1]):
print(str(ordered[i]) + ' is greater than ' + str(ordered[i+1]))
original = ordered[i+1]
ordered[i+1]=ordered[i]
ordered[i]=original
whileloop = 1 #run the loop again if you had to switch values
return whileloop
试试这个
import math
def find_median(arr):
if len(arr)%2==1:
med=math.ceil(len(arr)/2)-1
return arr[med]
else:
return -1
print(find_median([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]))
Python 3.4有statistics.median:
返回数值数据的中位数(中间值)。 当数据点数为奇数时，返回中间的数据点。 当数据点数为偶数时，通过取两个中间值的平均值来插值中位数: >>>中位数([1,3,5]) 3. >>>中位数([1,3,5,7]) 4.0
用法:
import statistics
items = [6, 1, 8, 2, 3]
statistics.median(items)
#>>> 3
它对类型也非常小心:
statistics.median(map(float, items))
#>>> 3.0
from decimal import Decimal
statistics.median(map(Decimal, items))
#>>> Decimal('3')
更普遍的中位数(和百分位数)方法是:
def get_percentile(data, percentile):
# Get the number of observations
cnt=len(data)
# Sort the list
data=sorted(data)
# Determine the split point
i=(cnt-1)*percentile
# Find the `floor` of the split point
diff=i-int(i)
# Return the weighted average of the value above and below the split point
return data[int(i)]*(1-diff)+data[int(i)+1]*(diff)
# Data
data=[1,2,3,4,5]
# For the median
print(get_percentile(data=data, percentile=.50))
# > 3
print(get_percentile(data=data, percentile=.75))
# > 4
# Note the weighted average difference when an int is not returned by the percentile
print(get_percentile(data=data, percentile=.51))
# > 3.04
