Python: inverse empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF)?

Viewed 10620

We can create the ECDF with

import numpy as np
from statsmodels.distributions.empirical_distribution import ECDF
ecdf = ECDF([3, 3, 1, 4])

and obtain then ECDF at point with

ecdf(x)

However, what if I want to know the x for percentile 97.5% ?

From http://www.statsmodels.org/stable/generated/statsmodels.distributions.empirical_distribution.ECDF.html?highlight=ecdf, it seems like not been implemented.

Is there any way to do this? Or any other libraries?
