similar to: CDF of Sample Quantile

Is there a function in R for calculating empirical cumulative distribution functions, i.e. the inverse of the quantile function? Perhaps in some library? I''d hate to have to re-invent the wheel.

Hello, I wanted to know if there is a simple way of getting the inverse cdf for a KDE estimate of a density (using the ks or KernSmooth packages) in R ? The method I'm using now is to perform a numerical integration of the pdf to get the cdf and then doing a search for the desired probablity value, which is highly inefficient and very slow. Thanks, -fj [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings all, I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the inverse CDF (i.e. a quantile) for a non-central F distribution. I could put together a quick numerical solver routine using the CDF, but I wonder if there's a function that I've missed that would be more efficient?

Hi all, I'm looking for an analytic method to obtain the PDF & CDF of the sampling distribution of a given correlation (rho) at a given sample size (N). I've attached code describing a monte carlo method of achieving this, and while it is relatively fast, an analytic solution would obviously be optimal. get.cors <- function(i, x, y, N){ end=i*N

Given f, a pdf over a finite interval, is there any existing R function that can efficiently tabulate the cumulative distribution function for f, or produce all N+1 quantiles of the form i/N? "Efficiently" here means better than doing repeated integrations for each point.

I have succeded in defining the cdf of the generalized beta of the second kind, eg. pgbeta2 <- function(quint,b,a,p1,p2) { integrate(function(x) {exp(log(a)+(a*p1-1)*log(x)-(a*p1)*log(b)-log(beta(p1,p2))-(p1+p2)*log(1+(x/b)^a))},0,quint)$value } but I'm facing problems with the quantile function. I tried something like qgbeta2 <- function(proba,b,a,p1,p2) { optimize(function(z)

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?

Dear R users, I'm using Ecdf (Hmisc library) to plot four cdf in a same graphic. In this graphic I also plot the 0.99 quantile for these cdf. I successfully plot cdfs using different types of line to distinguish them, but I can't determine the type of lines showing 0.99 quantile. Is there a way to assign different line types for quantile lines in Ecdf plot? Best regards, -- Mateus da

Hi Firstly , happy Christmas to R-Help! Secondly, I wonder if anyone can help me with the following query: I am trying to reproduce some explicit probability calculations performed in APPL (a Maple extension for computational probability). For instance, in APPL, to compute the probability that the sum of 10 iid uniform variables [0,1] will be between 4 and 6, (i..e Pr( 4 < \sum_{i=1}^{10}X_i

Hi all, I need to transform classic 32bit Fortran code to 64bit Fortran code, see the discussion [R-SIG-Mac] rnorm.halton. But I'm clearly a beginner in Fortran... Does someone already do this for his package? From here, http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=linux&db=bks&fname=/SGI_Developer/Porting_Guide/ch03.html , I identify the following changes

Dear R users, I am looking for a reference to an algorithm for estimation of sample quantiles which does not require bringing the whole data into memory (more precisely its memory complexity should be much less than linear, ideally constant). I realize that such an algorithm can only be approximate and actually quite wrong for some samples, but that's fine with me. Thank you, Vadim

Dear list I am using the qq.plot command to create quantile-quantile plots. The plot should display a 45 degree reference line upon which the points of the graph should fall if the two distributions being examined are roughly equal. If I try: x<-rchisq(100, df=6) qq.plot(x, dist="chisq", df=6) Then I get a quantile plot which has an intercept of roughly 1 when the line should be

Hi All: Recently I am researching my dissertation about the quantile model selection by bayesian approach. I have the dependent variable(return) and 16 independent variables and I need to select the best variable for each quantile of return. And the method I used is the bayesian approach, which is based on calculating the posterior distibution of model identifier. In other words, I need to obtain

Hi, I guess that my problem has an obvious answer, but I have not been able to find it. Suppose I create a custom function, consisting of two beta-distributions: myfunction <- function(x) { dbeta(x,2,6) + dbeta(x,6,2) } How can I calculate the quantiles of myfunction? I have not seen any continous function treated in the docs, and applying the "quantile function" gives me an

I am working on a two stage threshold quantile regression model in R, and my aim is to estimate the threshold of the reduced-form equation (call it rhohat), and the threshold of the structural equation (call it qhat), in two stages. On the first stage, i estimate rhohat by quantile regression and obtain the fitted values. I use these fitted values to estimate qhat on the second stage. The code is

Hello, I am not sure how to do this in R. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I have a vector of values from where I build an empirical CDF. For example: > x <- seq(1,100) > x <- sample(x,1000,replace=T) > quantile(x,probs=seq(0,1,.05)) 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 55% 1.00 5.00 10.00 16.00 20.00 25.00 31.00 36.00 41.00

Motivated by Deepayan's recent inquiries about the efficiency of the R 'quantile' function: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/05/11/3305.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/06/03/4358.html I decided to try to revive an old project to implement a version of the Floyd and Rivest (1975) algorithm for finding quantiles with O(n) comparisons.

Guys: 1).When I using the 'quantile' function, I get really confused. Here is what I met: > x<-zoo(rnorm(500,0,1)) > quantile(x,0.8) 400 1.060258 > c=rnorm(500,0,1) > quantile(c,0.8) 80% 0.9986075 why do the results display different? Is that because of the different type of the class? 2).And I want to use the 'rollapply' function to compute a
