Calculates the nth percentile of a windowed number of samples.

nth Percentile

Overview

Calculates the Nth percentile of the data set, indicated by the specified window, where N is a value greater or equal to 0, and less than 100.

Details

Note that the 25th percentile equals the 1st quartile, the 50th percentile equals the 2nd quartile and also the median, and the 75th percentile equals the 3rd quartile.

Assume you have set the Percentile property to 30, then for each input sample, the output sample value indicates that approximately 30% of the samples in the current window are less than that output sample value.

If the specified percentile value does not exactly point to one sample in the window of samples, then a weighted average of the values of the two adjacent samples is taken (linear interpolation).
