percentile quantile

Percentile and quantile are statistical concepts used to describe the distribution of data points within a dataset. A percentile indicates the value below which a certain percentage of observations fall, helping to understand the relative standing of a particular data point. For example, the 50th percentile, or median, divides the dataset into two equal halves. Quantiles, on the other hand, are specific points that divide the data into equal intervals, with quartiles being the most common type, representing the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles. Together, these measures provide valuable insights into data distribution and variability.
