% intensity=QuestQuantile(q,[quantileOrder])
%
% Gets a quantile of the pdf in the struct q. You may specify the desired
% quantileOrder, e.g. 0.5 for median, or, making two calls, 0.05 and 0.95
% for a 90% confidence interval. If the "quantileOrder" argument is not
% supplied, then it's taken from the "q" struct. QuestCreate uses
% QuestRecompute to compute the optimal quantileOrder and saves that in the
% "q" struct; this quantileOrder yields a quantile that is the most
% informative intensity for the next trial.
%
% This is based on work presented at a conference, but otherwise unpublished:
% Pelli, D. G. (1987). The ideal psychometric procedure. Investigative
% Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 28(Suppl), 366.
%
% See Quest.
% Denis Pelli, 6/9/96
% 6/17/96 dgp, worked around "nonmonotonic" (i.e. not strictly monotonic)
% interp1 error.
% 3/1/97 dgp updated to use Matlab 5 structs.
% 4/12/99 dgp removed support for Matlab 4.
