● Result type "percentile":
For the result type "percentile", the percentile value can be
set.
A percentile is, like the quantile, a threshold value, but
in case of the percentile, the distribution is given as a
percentage. The result type "percentile" helps when
answering the question "What percentage of the pixels
have a lower or identical value?".
The result type "percentile" has the following values:
● robust against ouliners
● scales with different pixel quantities of the ROI group
● enables a primitive statistical evaluation of the pixel
quantity. For example, by placing two superimposable
ROIs with different percentile values (25% and 75%):
● the pixel dispersion can be estimated,
● outliners can be detected.
By clicking on the arrow
on the right next to the
percentile value, a list with typical values opens.
Use the "Percentile" result type only if the object of
interest consists of more than one pixel.

Exemplary applications for the result type "percentile":
The distance between wall
① and wall ② is to be defined
(see figure on the left).
For wall
①, the percentile value "1st quantile 25 %" is
used.
For wall ②, the percentile value "3rd quantile 75 %" is
used.
The result type "percentile" calculates the correct distance
between the walls with an error rate of <1 %.
If you try to approximate the result via the min/max
values, an error rate of ~50 % is possible.
