POINT(1G)               COMMAND REFERENCE               POINT(1G)



NAME
     point - empirical cumulative density function point

SYNOPSIS
     point [ -fn ] [ -pn ] [ -nn ] [ -s ] [ vector ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Output is a linearly interpolated value from the empirical
     cumulative density function (e.c.d.f) for the input vector.
     By default, point returns the median (50% point).  If no
     vector is given, the standard input is assumed.

OPTIONS
     -fn Return the (1/n)*100 percent point from the empirical
         cumulative density function.

     -pn Return the n*100 percent point.

     -nn Return the nth element.

     -s  The input is assumed to be sorted.

EXAMPLES
     The following example outputs the 25% point from the
     empirical cumulative density function.  Vector A is assumed
     to be sorted.


          point -s,p.25 A
