quart
computation of quartiles
Syntax
s = quart(x) s = quart(x, orientation)
Arguments
- x
real or complex vector or matrix
- orientation
index of the dimension along which the quart is computed. It can be either
- a character
"*"
(default),"r"
or"c"
- a positive integer: 1 or 2. 1 is equivalent to "r" and 2 is equivalent to "c".
- a character
- s
real or complex scalar or vector
Description
For a vector or a matrix x, q = quart(x) or q = quart(x, "*") returns in the vector q the quartiles of x. q = quart(x, 'r') (or, equivalently, q = quart(x, 1)) are the rowwise percentiles. It returns in each column of the matrix q the quartiles of data in the corresponding column of x.
q = quart(x, 'c') (or, equivalently, q = quart(x, 2)) are the columnwise quartiles. It returns in each row of the matrix q the quartiles of data in the corresponding row of x.
Examples
x=[6 7 0 7 10 4 2 2 7 1; 6 0 5 5 5 2 0 6 8 10; 8 6 4 3 5 9 8 3 4 7; 1 3 2 7 6 1 1 4 8 2; 6 3 5 1 6 5 9 9 5 5; 1 6 4 4 5 4 0 8 1 8; 7 1 3 7 8 0 2 8 10 8; 3 6 1 9 8 5 5 3 2 1; 5 7 6 2 10 8 7 4 0 8; 10 3 3 4 8 6 9 4 8 3] q=quart(x) q=quart(x, 'r') q=quart(x, 'c')
