<h1 id="function-quantileseq">Function quantileSeq <a href="#function-quantileseq" title="Permalink">#</a></h1>

Compute the prob order quantile of a matrix or a list with values.
The sequence is sorted and the middle value is returned.
Supported types of sequence values are: Number, BigNumber, Unit
Supported types of probability are: Number, BigNumber

In case of a (multi dimensional) array or matrix, the prob order quantile
of all elements will be calculated.


<h2 id="syntax">Syntax <a href="#syntax" title="Permalink">#</a></h2>

```js
math.quantileSeq(A, prob[, sorted])
math.quantileSeq(A, [prob1, prob2, ...][, sorted])
math.quantileSeq(A, N[, sorted])
```

<h3 id="parameters">Parameters <a href="#parameters" title="Permalink">#</a></h3>

Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`data` | Array, Matrix | A single matrix or Array
`probOrN` | Number, BigNumber, Array | prob is the order of the quantile, while N is the amount of evenly distributed steps of probabilities; only one of these options can be provided
`sorted` | Boolean | =false              is data sorted in ascending order

<h3 id="returns">Returns <a href="#returns" title="Permalink">#</a></h3>

Type | Description
---- | -----------
Number, BigNumber, Unit, Array | Quantile(s)

```js
math.quantileSeq([3, -1, 5, 7], 0.5)         // returns 4
math.quantileSeq([3, -1, 5, 7], [1/3, 2/3])  // returns [3, 5]
math.quantileSeq([3, -1, 5, 7], 2)           // returns [3, 5]
math.quantileSeq([-1, 3, 5, 7], 0.5, true)   // returns 4
```
