-# Percentile
-
-The percentile is the average value of a series using only the smaller N percentile of the values.
-(a population or a probability distribution).
-
-Netdata applies linear interpolation on the last point, if the percentile requested does not give a round number of
-points.
-
-The following percentile aliases are defined:
-
-- `percentile25`
-- `percentile50`
-- `percentile75`
-- `percentile80`
-- `percentile90`
-- `percentile95`
-- `percentile97`
-- `percentile98`
-- `percentile99`
-
-The default `percentile` is an alias for `percentile95`.
-Any percentile may be requested using the `group_options` query parameter.
-
-## how to use
-
-Use it in alerts like this:
-
-```
- alarm: my_alert
- on: my_chart
-lookup: percentile95 -1m unaligned of my_dimension
- warn: $this > 1000
-```
-
-`percentile` does not change the units. For example, if the chart units is `requests/sec`, the result
-will be again expressed in the same units.
-
-It can also be used in APIs and badges as `&group=percentile` in the URL and the additional parameter `group_options`
-may be used to request any percentile (e.g. `&group=percentile&group_options=96`).
-
