Yes but not with perfect accuracy. You have to make a histogram of the samples (choosing some bin size; that's what limits accuracy) and then array qualtile will do exactly what you're looking for.
I use it for instance to do automatic level setting. I ask for the 90% quamtile of env~ output (in dB) over a period of 10 seconds or so.

Hi all
I am having difficulty understanding the output of [array quantile]. From the help-file it seems it expects an input between 0 and 1, and also the values in the array should be in that range. The output seems to be in the range between 0 and <array-size> - 1. But what does it mean?
Can I use this somehow to achieve this:
I have n samples and input q while 0 < q < 1. I would like to know the value x for which q*100 percent samples are smaller than x and (1- q)*100 percent bigger.
Thanks, Roman
