Hello, my question is the following: I want to solve the equation integral (lower = 0,upper = m) of f(t)dt = 0.5 for m i.e. the median of some density. The density is a Generalized Gamma, so I can't simply use 'q...' to find the median, and the integral is not known in closed form. Is R capable of doing this, or is it better to use something like Maple? Thank you very much. ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
