Percentile75(SeriesCollection,ElementValue) Method
Calculates the third percentile of the series.
Syntax
'Declaration Public Overloads Shared Function Percentile75( _ ByVal sc As SeriesCollection, _ ByVal elementValue As ElementValue _ ) As Series
'Usage Dim sc As SeriesCollection Dim elementValue As ElementValue Dim value As Series value = FinancialEngine.Percentile75(sc, elementValue)
public static Series Percentile75( SeriesCollection sc, ElementValue elementValue )
Parameters
- sc
- A collection of series objects. For example, to evaluate this indicator for two series you will need to pass a series collection containing this two series.
- elementValue
- Specifies the particular element value (for example High, Low, Close or Open of the financial time series) which will be considered within this indicator evaluation. In particular, if you wish to use the element value high then you should pass the parameter High. In a similarly fashion if you wish to use the low, close or open, then you should pass the parameter Low, Close, Open, respectively.
Remarks
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.
Remarks:
- The
50
-th percentile is the measure of centrality of a data set known as the median. The median can also be evaluated using Median(String,Series,ElementValue). - The
25
-th,50
-th,75
-th percentiles are often referred to as the1
-st,2
-nd (median) and3
-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.
