#### Quantiles
Instead of grouping into 4 or 100 boxes, quantiles generalize the concept to an infinite number
of boxes and thus to arbitrary real numbers $\tau$ between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 represents the
minimum value, 0.5 the median and 1.0 the maximum value. Quantiles are closely related to
the cumulative distribution function of the sample distribution.

#### Quantile Conventions and Compatibility
Remember that all these descriptive statistics do not *compute* but merely *estimate*
statistical indicators of the value distribution. In the case of quantiles,
there is usually not a single number between the two groups specified by $\tau$.
There are multiple ways to deal with this: the SAS package defined at least 5 ways,
the R project supports 9 variants and Mathematican and SciPy have their own way
to parametrize the behavior.
