R help - May 2003 - Cumulated probability plot

Hello,

is there an easy possiblity in R to produce a plot of the cumulative
probability of a variable in R? (variable given as a sample vector)

Regards,

What do you mean by cumulative probability ? If you mean the Empirical 
Distribution Function, try

x <- rnorm(100)
library(stepfun)
plot(ecdf(x))

Yes it is possible.

Start your search for a solution with the quantile() function:
>  quantile(rnorm(100))
          0%         25%         50%         75%        100%
-2.73069396 -0.76456805  0.02988956  0.62436410  2.59762742
