Katherine: it appears that you changed an instance of my use of "95th centile" to "95th percentile." While statisticians may debate which is the most technically correct terminology, I have tried (though perhaps not fully successfully) to consistently utilize the terminology used by the manufacturers in their documentation. While Respironics avoids using either term, from ResMed literature:
• pressure (95th centile value for mask-on time only) • leak (95th centile value for mask-on time only)
Unless you have specific reason otherwise, I'd appreciate your restoration of my original wording. Thanks. Velbor
