Getting empirical percentiles for data
Dear List,
I have some discrete data and want to calculate the percentiles and the
percentile ranks for each of the unique scores. I can calculate the
percentiles with quantile().
I know that "ecdf" can be used to calculate the empirical cumulative
distribution. However, I don't know how to exact the cumulative
probabilities for each unique element. The requirement is similar

data vector to corresonding percentile ranks
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

percentile-percentile plot
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

Werid things when write.table
Hello, I am having some issues with the order write.table.
The fact is that I need to use "," as the decimal character and not
"." as default, and when I use:
write.table(Sales,file="Sales.xls",quote=FALSE, sep = "\t", dec = ",",
row.names = FALSE, col.names = TRUE)
It does it perfectly, but then, in a different part of the code:

Calculating percentiles for multiple dates
I was hoping to calculate the percentile for each date. So group all of one
date together, calculating the value of the 2.5 and 97.5 percentile.

difference percentile R vs SPSS
Dear list,
I am calculating the 95th percentile of a set of values with R and with SPSS
In R:

> qnorm(0.95,mean=mean(normal200),sd=sd(normal200),lower.tail =TRUE)

In SPSS, if I use the same 200 values and select Analyze -> Descriptive Statistics -> Frequencies

Looking for help in calculating percentiles
Hi All:
I am working with a dataset on Arsenic toxicity, and I am trying to
calculate the 20th, 40th, 60th, 80th, and highest percentiles for a
variable, dietary Moisture (variable name dMoist).
The inbuilt function quantile(dMoist) would print 0, 25th, 50th, 75th, and
100th percentile. Does there exist a function that can calculate xth
percentile (where x = 10th, 20th, ... etc) values?

Package "demography" - calculating percentiles of survival probabilities distribution
Hi,
I am using the package "demography" from Rob Hyndman for the
Lee-Carter-Model. It is an amazing powerful tool but I am struggling with
one issue:
I want to compute different percentiles of the survival probability
distribution derived from the Lee-Carter-Forecast (e.g. the 50%tile,
60%tile, 75%tile and 99%tile) for each of the next 10 years. Is there any
possibility to retrieve

More efficient matrix computation
I have a 20x3 matrix as follows:
> m <- replicate(3, matrix(rnorm(20),20,1))
I need to compute, say, 95th and 99th percentiles of
each column such that the resulting matrix becomes 2x3
with each row representing the respective percentile.
My "best effort" is to compute one column at a time as
follows:
> quantile(m[,1], c(0.95, 0.99))
To do the same for columns 2 and 3, I

Range plots (lattice or base?)
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

accuracy of chi-square distribution approximations
Hi there,
How accurate is the aproximation R makes to the Chi-Square distribution?
For example, if I run:
> qchisq(1/1000000,6)
[1] 0.03650857
how accurate is 0.0365 compared to the theoretical percentile? What kind
of approximations have been made in the software's algorithm? It woudl be
useful to know since I am working with tiny percentiles such as one

Boxplots using percentiles?
The standard R boxplot appears to use quartiles to determine the height of
the rectangles and a range parameter - RNG - (default=1.5 I think) that
determines the length of the whiskers as <= RNG x Interquartile Range. Is
it possible to instead define the range as extending to the 95th percentile?
If so, how would this be done?
nb, I'm plotting multiple boxplots on a single chart so a

Ever see a stata import problem like this?
Greetings Everybody:
I generated a 1.2MB dta file based on the general social survey with
Stata8 for linux. The file can be re-opened with Stata, but when I bring
it into R, it says all the values are missing for most of the variables.
This dataset is called "morgen.dta" and I dropped a copy online in case
you are interested

Value at Risk historical simulation
Hi
Has someone got a package/script at hand to do a historical simulation
to calculate the Value at Risk?
If your not sure what Historical Simulation is:
In simple terms, Historical Simulation (HS) is just taking sample
percentiles over a moving sample. Suppose we want to use HS to predict
a portfolio's Value-at-Risk at a confidence level of 99 percent and
the window size is chosen to be 250

Loess over split data

I am having trouble devising an efficient way to run a loess() function
on all columns of a data.frame (with the x factor remaining the same for
all columns) and I was hoping that someone here could help me fix my
code so that I won't have to resort to using a for loop.

Percentiles/Quantiles with Weighting
Hi All,
I am looking at applications of percentiles to time sequenced data. I had
just been using the quantile function to get percentiles over various
periods, but am more interested in if there is an accepted (and/or
R-implemented) method to apply weighting to the data so as to weigh recent
data more heavily.
I wrote the following function, but it seems quite inefficient, and not
