Help for bootstrapping‏
I have a set of data for US t-bill returns and US stock returns frm 1980-2012. I am trying to bootstrap the data and obtain the minimum variance portfolio and repeat this portfolio 1000 times. However I am unable to get the correct code function for the minimum variance portfolio. When I tried to enter Opt(OriData+1, 1, 5, 0), I get "error:subscript out of bounds" Please help!

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

Negative Quartile
Hello, I have a doubt, but it is more statistic than just about R: How the people deal usually with negative percentile and quartile? In my concrete case, I want to know the distribution of an error, so the nearest it is to 0 the better (I think it would be optimun to have the nearest values to 0 in the lower percentiles). The best result would be making the percentile of the absolute value

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. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Calculating-percentiles-for-multiple-dates-tp4638183p4638378.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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: > 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,

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 one-millionth and one

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 http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/morgen.dta looks like this

Loess over split data
Dear R users, 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. (You'll find the upcoming lines of code in a single block near the end of the message.) Here's a

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 really very

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
