Quantile function

Summary

The quantile function of a real distribution is a generalized inverse of its cumulative distribution function. For a level pp between 00 and 11, it gives the smallest value xx with probability at least pp of not being exceeded. The node quantile function gives the precise definition.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
