function y = prctile(x,p);
%PRCTILE gives the percentiles of the sample in X.
%   Y = PRCTILE(X,P) returns a value that is greater than P percent
%   of the values in X. For example, if P = 50  Y is the median of X.
%
%   P may be either a scalar or a vector. For scalar P, Y is a row
%   vector containing Pth percentile of each column of X. For vector P,
%   the ith row of Y is the P(i) percentile of each column of X.
