Question about Percentile function

[Martin,Philippe [Montreal]]

Hi,
we would like to know if there is an alternate version of the perctl
function, which allows the user to specify the percentiles with decimals
values (i.e.: 99.9 or 57.5). The current version of perctl in Scilab
5.0.3 requires the percentile vector (pvec) to be integer values between
1 and 100; however, it would be interesting to calculate outliers
(extremes) which fall around the 99.97 percentile.

Could you please refer us to the appropriate function if it exists. If
the latter is not already developped, it could be an interesting
addition to the scilab librairy.

Thank you,
Christian and Philippe
