e.g. Percentile('Expression','Percentile'=0.5)

This function returns the defined percentile of 'Expression'.

The p% percentile is the smallest value of a set of measured values which is greater than p% of the number of values measured.

A typical percentile is the 50 % percentile, the so-called median. The median divides the set of values measured into two equal halves: 50 % of all values measured are smaller than the median value, the remaining 50 % are greater than or equal to it. Further typical percentiles are 25 % and 75 % which, together with the median, enable the division of a set of values measured into four groups, the so-called quartiles. (< 25 %, < 50 %, < 75 %, ≥ 75 %).

The Percentile function determines the percentile value from the total number of measuring points of a signal. Enter the percentile as a decimal value, i.e.:

• 50 % > 'Percentile' = 0.5 (default value)

• 75 % > 'Percentile' = 0.75

• 95,9 % > 'Percentile' = 0.959

This function is, for example, particularly useful when assessing the quality of a product where a particular property must comply with a defined classification.
