quantileSeries
Syntax
quantileSeries(X, q, [interpolation='linear'])
Arguments
X is a numeric vector.
q is a scalar or vector of floating numbers 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 and the
default value is 'linear'.
-
'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];
quantileSeries(a,[0.25,0.5,0.75]);
// output
[25.5,40,42.5]
quantileSeries(a,[0.25,0.5,0.75], 'higher');
// output
[36,40,43]Related function: quantile
