quantile

PURPOSE

QUANTILE calculates the quantiles of histograms and sample arrays.

SYNOPSIS

function Q=quantile(Y,q,DIM,method)

DESCRIPTION

 QUANTILE calculates the quantiles of histograms and sample arrays.  

  Q = quantile(Y,q)
  Q = quantile(Y,q,DIM)
     returns the q-th quantile along dimension DIM of sample array Y.
     size(Q) is equal size(Y) except for dimension DIM which is size(Q,DIM)=length(Q)

  Q = quantile(HIS,q)
     returns the q-th quantile from the histogram HIS. 
     HIS must be a HISTOGRAM struct as defined in HISTO2 or HISTO3.
     If q is a vector, the each row of Q returns the q(i)-th quantile
