/**
* Calculates the value at the given percentile of an array of numbers.
*
* Sorts the array in ascending order and returns the element at the nearest rank.
* See {@link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile#The_nearest-rank_method | Nearest rank method}.
*
* `NaN` values are sorted as the smallest values. Returns `NaN` if the array is empty.
*
* @param {readonly number[]} arr - An array of numbers to calculate the percentile.
* @param {number} percentile - The percentile to compute, in the range `[0, 100]`.
* @returns {number} The value at the given percentile.
* @throws {Error} Throws an error if `percentile` is not a number, less than `0`, or greater than `100`.
*
* @example
* percentile([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 50);
* // Returns 3
*
* @example
* percentile([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 75);
* // Returns 4
*
* @example
* percentile([5, 1, 4, 2, 3], 0);
* // Returns 1
