Calculates the interest
-th percentile of the registered data set.
Recall that the
percentile is the value such that at least interest
-percent of the data set items
are less than or equal to this value, or equivalently if at least (100-interest)
percent of the items are greater than or equal to this value. Note that, before this methods is
called a data set should be registered by invoking the method SetDataSet.
Remarks:
50
-th percentile is the measure of centrality of a data set known as the
median. The median can also be evaluated using Median.
25
-th, 50
-th, 75
-th percentiles are often
referred to as the 1
-st, 2
-nd (median) and 3
-rd
quartile respectively. The term quartile refers to the fact that these three values
will roughly divide the data set considered into four equal parts.
