Meaning of "octile" in English

In mathematics and statistics, the term "octile" refers to one of nine divisions of a data set, ordered by rank, which results in eight groups that contain approximately the same number of data points. An octile is essentially a form of quantile, similar to quartiles or percentiles, that helps in the analysis of data distribution by dividing the data into eight parts. This categorization can be useful in identifying variability and trends within the data set, and it is particularly helpful in descriptive statistics.

This term belongs to the broader category of statistical tools used in examining and interpreting data, thus aiding in the comprehension of data distributions and trends within a given set.
