quantile
Syntax
quantile(X, q, [interpolation='linear'])
Arguments
X is a numeric vector, matrix or table.
q is a floating number between 0 and 1.
interpolation is a string indicating how to interpolate if the quantile is
between element i and j in X with i<j. It can take the following
values:
-
'linear' (default): i+(j-i)*fraction, where fraction is the decimal part of q*size(X).
-
'lower': i
-
'higher': j
-
'nearest': i or j whichever is nearest.
-
'midpoint': (i+ j)/2
Details
Return values at the given quantile in X.
Examples
a=[6, 47, 49, 15, 42, 41, 7, 39, 43, 40, 36];
quantile(a,0.25);
// output
25.5
quantile(a,0.5);
// output
40
quantile(a,0.75);
// output
42.5
quantile(a,0.75, 'lower');
// output
