Cohort rule
quantile_cont within (season, game_type, cohort, stat) over the same rows as percent_rank; postseason and play-in never folded together; cohorts all, rotation (15+ min/g) and heavy (28+ min/g), each with a per game_type games floor (4 postseason games, 1 play-in game); shooting attempt floors scaled to the scope
rotation cohort of pctl-post-v0 within season and game_type: 15+ min/g and a full series of games (4+ postseason, 1+ play-in); never the regular-season cohort
percent_rank within (season, game_type, cohort, stat); postseason and play-in never folded together; cohorts all, rotation (15+ min/g) and heavy (28+ min/g), each with a per game_type games floor (4 postseason games, 1 play-in game); shooting attempt floors scaled to the scope
Stats this method computes

|---|---|---|---|---|
cohort_quantiles_post | Postseason cohort quantile grid (Quantiles) | The postseason or play-in cohort's values at every fifth percentile from 0 to 100 (21 points) for (season, game_type, cohort, stat): the lowest value, the 5th percentile and so on to the highest.
