See my notes, please
Hermien Desaivre (asker) Jul 8, 2022:
Thank you all This is why this platform is so useful. I learn every time there is a discussion and not just about terms - when challenged, one is forced to take a step back and really consider your reasoning and your sources. I will close with Cristina getting kudoz, but will add only "perzentil" to the term base for this question. Any search will bring up this discussion for future reference. If anyone disagrees, please reach out to a moderator. Again, thank you for the prompt response. It was a great help.
Steffen Walter Jul 8, 2022:
No way, José You should have realised by now that they are not synonyms (see the links cited in my peer comment on Cristina's answer). Your thesaurus source is dubious at best.
José Patrício Jul 8, 2022:
What is another word for percentile?
percentile - syn percentage, percent - https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/percentil...
Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A. Jul 7, 2022:
Maybe the Asker should ask, in case she finds anything "to mislead".
Steffen Walter Jul 7, 2022:
No The fact that you included "percent", "%" etc. at the same time continues to mislead the asker. Why even mention "percent" or "percentage"?
Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A. Jul 7, 2022:
@ Steffen In my note added at 18 mins I specified about 'percent(age)':
- "percent, %, p/c, pc., p.c. [Am.]"
Therefore, it should be clear:
- "PC (percentile)"
Furthermore, the difference between 'percentage' and 'percentile' is/was clearly explained in my link.
Steffen Walter Jul 7, 2022:
Further to my peer comment below, ... ... the fact that Cristina suggested both "percent(age)" and "percentile" is misleading, despite the difference between the two being explained in the referenced link. "Percentile" ist the only possible solution in the context of this question.
Steffen Walter Jul 7, 2022:
Exactly, Phil See, for instance, https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/Gesundheitsmonitoring/Gesundhe... and https://www.seca.com/de_de/unternehmen/stories/details/artic...

German term (edited): PZ = Prozent, Perzentile
Selected

PC (percent, percentile)

Entwicklung der Körpergröße bei Kinden nach Alter
Die Gewichtstabelle ist grundlegend erst einmal nach Alter (in Monate) und Geschlecht aufgeteilt. Zusätzlich werden die Größen (in Zentimeter) noch nach verschiedenen Perzentilen differenziert. Sie sind ein typisches Lagemaß in der Statistik und als Hundertstelwert zu verstehen.
Eine Perzentile von drei (P3) bedeutet, dass nur 3 Prozent kleiner sind, 97 Prozent dagegen größer.
Beim P50-Wert liegt das Verhältnis zwischen größer und kleiner bei 50:50 und somit gilt dieser stets als Median.
P3: 3 Prozent der Kinder sind kleiner, 97 Prozent größer
P15: 15 Prozent der Kinder sind kleiner, 85 Prozent größer
P25: 25 Prozent der Kinder sind kleiner, 75 Prozent größer
P50: 50 Prozent der Kinder sind kleiner, 50 Prozent größer
P75: 75 Prozent der Kinder sind kleiner, 25 Prozent größer
P85: 85 Prozent der Kinder sind kleiner, 15 Prozent größer
P97: 97 Prozent der Kinder sind kleiner, 3 Prozent größer
