y75

 

Description

Get the 75th percentile of vector.

Syntax

double y75( vector & vec )

Parameters

vec
[input] Origin C vector object

Return

Returns the 75th percentile of vector.

Examples

EX1

// This is a self contained sample program for the function y75, 
// Its sample data is created at the beginning of the program. 
// To run the program, enter the following command in the Script window:
//   y75_ex1
// It returns like:
//   75th Percentile of Book3_B = 0.47304
//
void y75_ex1()
{ 
    Worksheet wks;
    wks.Create();
    Dataset myDs(wks, 1);
    String strDsName = myDs.GetName();
 
    //******* Create sample data *****************
    myDs.SetSize(7);
    myDs[0]=0.3; 
    myDs[1]=0.097; 
    myDs[2]=0.41256;
    myDs[3]=0.24909;
    myDs[4]=0.47304;
    myDs[5]=0.2476;
    myDs[6]=0.64529;
    myDs.Sort();
    //******** End of Sample Data Creation *******
 
    vector vVal = myDs;
    double dP75 = y75(vVal);  // Demonstration of y75
 
    printf("75th Percentile of %s = %g\n", strDsName, dP75);
}

Remark

Let the i\,th percentile be y, setp=i/100\, , n is the number of data points, and let  np=(j+g) \,

where j is the integer part of np, and g is the fractional part of np, then different methods define the i^{th}\, percentile, y, as described by the following.

y =  \begin{cases}   \frac 12(x(j)+x(j+1)),& \mbox{if }\ g=0 \\  x_(j+1),& \mbox{if }\ g>0 \end{cases}
