@section{description}
Given an link::Classes/FFT:: chain this calculates the cumulative distribution of the frequency spectrum, and outputs the frequency value which corresponds to the desired percentile.
For example, to find the frequency at which 90% of the spectral energy lies below that frequency, you want the 90-percentile, which means the value of emphasis::fraction:: should be 0.9. The 90-percentile or 95-percentile is often used as a measure of strong::spectral roll-off::.
The optional third argument strong::interpolate:: specifies whether interpolation should be used to try and make the percentile frequency estimate more accurate, at the cost of a little higher CPU usage. Set it to 1 to enable this.
