In my numpy 1.6.1 (from Ubuntu 12.04LTS repository), the docstring of np.percentile is wrong. I'm not just submitting a PR because I don't understand something.
in the "Notes" and "Examples" sections, there seems to be some confusion if ``q`` should be in the range [0,1] or in [0,100]. The parameters section is very clear about this, it should be [0,100]. However, in the Examples section, it says >>> np.percentile(a, 0.5, axis=0) array([ 6.5, 4.5, 2.5]) The given array is clearly the result of a call to np.percentile(a, 50., axis=0). I thought the docs are auto-generated, and that the "array..." result of the docstring would be calculated by numpy while building the docs? Or am I misunderstanding something here?
