Pass percentiles to pandas agg function

Perhaps not super efficient, but one way would be to create a function yourself:

def percentile(n):
    def percentile_(x):
        return np.percentile(x, n)
    percentile_.__name__ = 'percentile_%s' % n
    return percentile_

Then include this in your agg:

In [11]: column.agg([np.sum, np.mean, np.std, np.median,
                     np.var, np.min, np.max, percentile(50), percentile(95)])
Out[11]:
           sum       mean        std  median          var  amin  amax  percentile_50  percentile_95
AGGREGATE
A          106  35.333333  42.158431      12  1777.333333    10    84             12           76.8
B           36  12.000000   8.888194       9    79.000000     5    22             12           76.8

Note sure this is how it should be done though…
