> Class {{Median}} (package {{o.a.c.m.stat.descriptive.rank}} inherits several

> percentile value. That doesn't make sense, and easily allows for user bugs.
> Either those inherited methods should be overridden by methods that throw a
> "forbidden" exception, or perhaps more correctly (but not
> backwards-compatible), the methods with a specific percentile argument should
> be made "static". The latter would also fix the same problem in the
> {{Percentile}} class itself.
