[PD] anyone using array quantile?

[peiman khosravi]

Thank you very much. That does the trick.

Though, [array random] doesn't seem to be working as I expected. Am I right
to think that it should produce the same result as [array quantile] fed
with uniformly distributed random values? If so I'm getting very different
results here.

Thanks
Peiman
