To compute the pth quantile of n nonmissing values in a column, arrange the n values in ascending order and call these column values y1y2, ..., yn. Compute the rank number for the pth quantile as p / 100(n + 1).
If the result is an integer, the pth quantile is that rank’s corresponding value.
If the result is not an integer, the pth quantile is found by interpolation. The pth quantile, denoted qp, is computed as follows:
n is the number of nonmissing values for a variable
y1, y2, ..., yn represents the ordered values of the variable
yn+1 is taken to be yn
i is the integer part and f is the fractional part of (n+1)p.
(n + 1)p = i + f
The value y12 is the 75th quantile. The 90th quantile is interpolated by computing a weighted average of the 14th and 15th ranked values as y90 = 0.6y14 + 0.4y15.
