[CHANGESET]: Statistics function incorrectly computing median

Thu Mar 6 08:13:21 CST 2008

Why can't 

        for q = 1:n
          inv(k(q)) = interp1 (cdf, x, p(k(q)), "linear", "extrap");
        endfor

in __quantile__.m be written as

inv(k) = interp1 (cdf, x, p(k), "lienar", "extrap");

or maybe even just as

inv = interp1 (cdf, x, p, "linear", "extrap");

as the permutation of the values of p by k before interpolation is undone by the permutation in the assignment.
