The procedure has the option `PCTLDEF` which allows for five different percentile definitions to be used. The default is `PCTLDEF=5`, which uses the empirical distribution function to find percentiles. This is how the 25th and 40th percentiles of `aval` in the dataset `adlb` could be calculated, using the default option for `PCTLDEF`. +For quantiles, Q1= 25%, Q2=50%, Q3 = 75%, Q4=100%. ```{r, eval=FALSE} proc univariate data=adlb;
