Unterschreitungsanteil

German term or phrase: Unterschreitungsanteil
In meinem Text geht es unter anderem um Quantile. Der gesuchte Begriff mit einer ganz guten Erklärung findet sich zum Beispiel in Wikipedia (Eintrag Quantil) in folgendem Absatz:

Als Quantil der Ordnung p wird in der Statistik ein Merkmalswert bezeichnet, unterhalb dessen ein vorgegebener Anteil p aller Fälle der Verteilung liegt. Jeder Wert unterhalt von Qp unterschreitet diesen vorgegebenen Anteil. Deshalb wird p auch als Unterschreitungsanteil bezeichnet. Dabei ist p eine reelle Zahl zwischen 0 und 1.

Es gibt zwar auch einen englischen Eintrag zum Thema Quantile, aber der ist leider vollkommen anders aufgebaut. Jede Hilfe ist sehr willkommen. Vielen Dank im Voraus

Apparently not very common, but where this term is used, it fits the definition. Sometimes the variable p is used, sometimes q.

neutral  Vito Smolej: "Sometimes the variable p is used, sometimes q." - thats unnecessarily sloppy: q is quantile (value), and p is the probability. They should be kept separate - but combined, like q(p)
