| fldquar | Compute quatiles for data fields |
| -d <data> | source data |
| -fout <field> | resulted field |
| [-v <value>] | percentual amount of data |
| [-md <value>] | missing value to be skipped |
This operation finds a value of the sorted data that limits a given portion of data. The value is not given, then the default value (50 %) is used.
Example: This simple example shows, how the first and the third quartiles can be computed.
