Utility functions to calculate percentiles and percent ranks in a JavaScript array.
// Returns the value at a given percentile in a sorted numeric array.
// "Linear interpolation between closest ranks" method
function percentile(arr, p) {
if (arr.length === 0) return 0;
if (typeof p !== 'number') throw new TypeError('p must be a number');
if (p <= 0) return arr[0];
if (p >= 1) return arr[arr.length - 1];
var index = arr.length * p,
lower = Math.floor(index),
