Namespace:  Meta.Numerics.Statistics
Assembly:  Meta.Numerics (in Meta.Numerics.dll) Version: 4.1.4
Syntax
Copy
public static double InverseLeftProbability(
	this IReadOnlyList<double> sample,
	double P
)

Parameters

sample
Type: System.Collections.GenericIReadOnlyListDouble
The sample.
P
Type: SystemDouble
The percentile, which must lie between zero and one.

Return Value

Remarks

For percentile inputs which do not lie exactly on a sample value, this method interpolates linearly between the two nearest sample values. Therefore you cannot be certain that the value returned will be contained in the sample.
