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 dotnetCHARTING.AnalysisEngine.Implementation.FinancialMedian. - 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.
