quantile edit page

If n is in (0,1), then q is the n-th quantile of x (n*100 percent quantile) If n<0, then q is the (n+1)-th largest entry of x If n>1, then q is the n-th smallest entry of x

Syntax

q = quantile(x,n)

Input

`x`	`double`
`n`	`double`

Output

q double

Example

[~,x]=sort(rand(1,1000));
quantile(x,3)    % third smallest entry
quantile(x,-2)   % third largest entry
quantile(x,0.25) % 25 percent quantile
