Order Statistics
In statistics, an order statistic gives the k-th smallest value.
Together with rank statistics these are fundamental tools in non-parametric statistics and inference.
Important special cases of order statistics are finding minimum and maximum value of a sample and sample quantiles.
- Quantile — cut points dividing the range of a probability distribution into continuous intervals
- Quartiles — list of quartiles
- RankedMax — the n-th largest item
- RankedMin — the n-th smallest item
- ReverseSort — sort in reverse order
- Sort — sort lexicographically or with a comparison function
- TakeLargest — sublist of n largest elements
- TakeSmallest — sublist of n smallest elements
