Heeeelp Given this data x <- c(1,5,100,300,250,200,550,900,1000) > quantile(x) 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 1 100 250 550 1000 When I run the quantile, I can only know the value of the nth percentile I want to know what's the percentile position of each items in the list Sample 1 = 100% on the list has 1 or more 5 = more than x% on the list has 5 or more 100 = more than x% on the

To calculate Percentile for a set of observations Excel has percentile() function. R function quantile() does the same thing. Is there any significant difference btw percentile and quantile?

note: whole function is below- I am sure I am doing something silly. when I use it like USGS(input="precipitation") it is choking on the precip.1 <- subset(DF, precipitation!="NA") b <- ddply(precip.1$precipitation, .(precip.1$gauge_name), cumsum) DF.precip <- precip.1 DF.precip$precipitation <- b$.data part, but runs fine outside of the function: days=7

Hi, Is there a function that does percentile-percentile plot. I do not mean the qqplot. I need to plot the percentiles rather than points themselves. I am hoping for a plot that tells me that the x percentile of one data set corresponds to the y percentile of the other. for example a point on the plot of (.5, .2) will tell me that the 50th percentile of the first data and the 20th percentile of

I have a problem where I need to calculate the corresponding cohort percentile ranks for each of several variables. Essentially, what I need is a function that will calculate the distribution-free percentiles from each variable's data vector, returning a corresponding vector of percentiles: e.g.: percentile.my.data<-/function/(my.data) I tried to make ecdf() perform this task but

Hi, Here i have an matrix like this, ABC PQR XYZ MNO ------ ------- ------ -------- 3 6 7 15 2 12 24 15 20 5 1 2 25 50 15 35 i need to get the "MODE" - for each column-wise "VARIANCE" - for

Hello Recently, I've been dealing with a seemingly simple problem. I have a table with two columns filled with values from a test I made (say, amount of precipitation and Months measured). Now, instead of plotting a typical linear graphic with precipitation on the y-axis and the months in the x-axys, I would like to "convert" the values of precipitation in a color gradient,

Hi, can anyone help me to figure out how to compute the percentile of an individual observation with respect to a reference distribution. What I mean is. Let's assume I have a vector consisting of 10 numbers {3,5,8,1,9,5,4,3,5.5,7} and I want figure out what percentile the number 4.9 corresponds to. I failed to find any reference to such a function, although I would assume this must

Dear list, I am calculating the 95th percentile of a set of values with R and with SPSS In R: > normal200<-rnorm(200,0,1) > qnorm(0.95,mean=mean(normal200),sd=sd(normal200),lower.tail =TRUE) [1] 1.84191 In SPSS, if I use the same 200 values and select Analyze -> Descriptive Statistics -> Frequencies and under "Statistics", I type in '95' under Percentiles,

I am looking to create what I would call a "simple variation" on the boxplot. What I would like to do is to be able to plot the upper and lower confidence limits as the "box" and the 10th and 90th percentile as the whiskers. What I have done is write the code to create a dataframe, the columns of which are the mean, sd, 10th percentile, 90th percentile, lower confidence limit

Hi all, I have gone through some basics of R in eclipse environment. What I need to work is more than basic level so I could not find out the solution by myself. could anyone help me ? My case, I have climate data (precipitation) in nc format with single layer for each time interval in a day. That means for January 1, 2013, I have 8 separate files each containing 3 hrs cumulative precipitation

Hi: Summary: I am trying to determine the 90th percentile of ambulance response times for groups of data. Background: A fire chief would like to look at emergency response times at the 90th percentile for 1 kilometer grids in Cape Coral, Florida. I have mapped out ambulance response times on a GIS map. Then I superimpose a regularly-spaced grid over the response times and spatially join the

Dear all, I am familiar with obtaining the value corresponding to a chosen probability via the quantile function. Now I am facing the opposite problem I have a value an want to know it's corresponding percentile in the distribution. So is there a function for this as well? Thank you for your support in advance, Felix

Dear all, I have a list of precipitation record and a list of time I would like to sum them up per hour, or per day. Does such a function exist ? example: time<-c("2000-10-03 14:00:00","2000-10-03 14:10:00","2000-10-03 14:20:00","2000-10-03 15:30:00","2000-10-03 16:40:00","2000-10-03 16:50:00","2000-10-03

I would like to give a probability distribution function of a function of (x,y) on the half-plane y>0, and a constant 0<c<1 and I would like to know the c percentile of the marginal distribution of x. I have tried along the lines of the following but I keep getting errors: # SIMPLIFIED PROBLEM # The plan is to solve for the .975 percentile "xc" of the marginal x distribution

I am performing a precipitation analysis. data is in the form of daily precipitation amounts, e.g. x<- c(4,5,3,0,0,0,2,4,6,4,0,0,0,2,2,0,3,4,1,0,...) I would like to find the length of the "storm", length of storm would be defined as the number of days with continues precipitation. in this case the returned vector would be: (3,4,2,3,...) I would also like the amount of

Dear R gurus, I have some climatic data for a region of the world. They are monthly averages 1950 -2000 of precipitation (12 months), minimum temperature (12 months), maximum temperature (12 months). I have scaled them to 2 km x 2km cells, and I have around 75,000 cells. I need to feed them into a statistical model as co-variates, to use them to predict a response variable. The climatic

Hi folks, I'm trying to estimate bias-corrected percentile (BCP) confidence intervals on a vector from a simple for loop used for resampling. I am attempting to follow steps in Manly, B. 1998.

Hi: I have an array of measurements, that I've been doing linear regression model and AI models on. Because there are many errors and the values are "ill-formed" I would like to copy the array, but replace each value with the PERCENTILE of that value, in the original array. i.e. mesments$V1: 9, 77, -1 would become: mesmentsCopy$V1: 50, 100, 0 The actual array has many more
