Including Interpolation Data in Printed Reports
You can create sample data reports that display statistical results within defined boundaries, or
interpolation points.
Using interpolation points allows you to define your own bin edges and create any number of bins,
of different or equal sizes. Interpolations are similar to percentiles, but are more flexible.
Percentiles are limited to eight equally spaced bins.
