Description

Estimates and displays the quantile for a specified fractile of a data set by linear interpolation from the ranked data. If the function is run as temp <- gx.quantile(xx, f) the quantile is not displayed, but retained in temp for subsequent use or display.

Usage

gx.quantile(xx, f, display = TRUE)

xx

the data set for which the quantile is to be estimated.

f

## Clean-up and detach test data
