##
## If @var{x} is a matrix, compute the percentiles for each column and return

## @var{p}(i)th percentiles of each column of @var{x}.
##
## If @var{p} is unspecified, return the quantiles for @code{[0 25 50 75 100]}.
##
## The optional argument @var{dim} determines the dimension along which the
## percentiles are calculated. If @var{dim} is omitted it defaults to the
## first non-singleton dimension.
##
## Programming Note: All non-numeric values (NaNs) of @var{x} are ignored.
