The Percentiles Table

Percentiles Table

This table shows the percentiles of the file size statistics.

If you don't know what percentiles are, please read the percentiles documentation first.

Columns from left to right:

  • Percentile number (P0 .. P100).

  • Percentile value. This is the file size where that percentile is. Remember that percentiles are the dividing point, not an interval. Percentile P10 is the point where 10% of all data points are below, 90% are above.

  • The name of the percentile if there is any special name:

    Percentile Name
    P0 Min
    P25 1. Quartile (Q1)
    P50 Median
    P75 3. Quartile (Q3)
    P100 Max
  • The accumulated sum of all data points (of all files) between the previous percentile and this one.

  • The accumulated sum of all data points (of all files) between P0 and this one.

If you wonder how many data points (files) fall into any interval between the previous percentile and this one: That's always 1/100 of the total number of data points (files). This is why this is not listed in the table; that would be the same number for each percentile.

This table shows either all or only the interesting percentiles. Use the combo box at the top right to switch between those two views.

Interesting percentiles in the context of this table are those with a special name (see above), those with a number that can be divided (without remainder) by 5, and a few around the extremes (min and max).
