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

how to compute the inverse percentile of a given observation w.r.t. a reference distribution
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

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

Percentile rank for each element in list
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

Sample
1 = 100% on the list has 1 or more
5 = more than x% on the list has 5 or more

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:

Hello all,
Thanks in advance for you attention.
I would like to generate a third value that represents the quantile
value of a variable in a data frame.

percentile of a given value: is there a "reverse" quantile function?
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

Replace array with percentile values
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

Percentile function
Is there an R function that inputs a value and a vector, and
returns the percentile corresponding to the value?
Something like
pvalue<-function(x,vector){mean(x>=vector)}
but with interpolation.
Given the above function, is there a way to do the following
without the loop:
for(i in 1:10) y[i] <- pvalue(x[i],vector)
where x and y are numeric vectors of length 10?

A two-part question about box-percentile plots, bpplot(): (1) yaxt="n" doesn't seem to work (2) how to display mean values
Dear List,
I have a two-part question related to bpplot(), a box-percentile plot
function in the Hmisc package.
Take the example given in the Help for bpplot(), for instance.
(1) How does one set but not draw the y-axis? What I did was,
bpplot(... , yaxt="n"), but that apparently does not work (though it
works for boxplot()).
(2) How does one display the mean value of each variable

Finding percentile of a value from an empirical distribution
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%

Percentile Estimation From Kernel Density Estimate
Has anyone developed a defensible method of estimating percentiles from a
univariate kernel density estimate? I am working on a problem in which the
density estimate is of interest, but I would also like to estimate the
value of the variable for which the distribution was, say, 0.20. I spent
some time searching the archives and found some message from 2006 that
implied such a method was not
