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

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 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

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% 1.00 5.00 10.00 16.00 20.00 25.00 31.00 36.00 41.00

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 The actual array has many more

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 determine the quantile boundary from an ECDF?
Given a dataset x, the ecdf is ecdf(x). Then I can use ecdf(x)(y) to find the percentile of y. Given the ecdf is there a way to determine what is the value of y that is the boundary of let's say 95 percentile? In other words, is there a function I can call on the ecdf like: fomeFunc( ecdf( x ), 0.95 ) Which will return the highest value of y, for which ecdf( y ) < 0.95? The only solution

Area between CDFs
Dear List: I am trying to find the area between two ECDFs. I am examining the gap in performance between two groups, males and females on a student achievement test in math, which is a continuous metric. I start by creating a subset of the dataframe male<-subset(datafile, female="Male") female<-subset(datafile, female="Female") I then plot the two CDFs via

how to get the percentile of a number in a vector
I'm familiar with the quantile() command, but what if I have a specific number that I want to know its location in a vector? I know that in known distributions, (for example the normal distribution), there is pnorm and qnorm, but how can I do it with unknown vector? thanks in advance _________________________________________________________________ Walla!

create new variable: percentile value of variable in data frame
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. # generating data x <- as.matrix(seq(1:30)) y <- as.matrix(rnorm(30, 20, 7)) tmp1 <- cbind(x,y) dat <- as.data.frame(tmp1) colnames(dat) <- c("id", "score") dat # finding percentiles of "score"

"reverse" quantile function
Dear All, we have: t<-seq(0,24,1) a<-10*exp(-0.05*t) b<-10*exp(-0.07*t) c<-10*exp(-0.1*t) d<-10*exp(-0.03*t) z<-data.frame(a,b,c,d) res<-t(apply(z, 1, quantile, probs=c(0.3))) my goal is to do a 'reverse" of the function here that produces "res" on a data frame, ie: to get the answer 0.3 back for the percentile location when I have

Extracting x-values from an ecdf
Dear R users, Quick question on the use of ecdf for producing a cumulative distribution function. After having produced a cumulative distribution using ecdf, I would like to extract the exact x-value for a given percentile. For example I can ascertain the 1st and 3rd quartile using the summary function: cawa.cdp <- ecdf(cawaocc$LEFF80) plot(cawa.cdp, ylab="Fn(x)")

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

Diff btw percentile and quantile
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?

"reverse" quantile function
David, thanks for the response. In your response the quantile function (if I see correctly) runs on the columns versus I need to run it on the rows, which is an easy fix, but that is not exactly what I had in mind... essentially we can remove t() from my original code to make "res" look like this: res<-apply(z, 1, quantile, probs=c(0.3)) but after all maybe I did not explain

value of nth percentile
Dear All, I have to get the value of say 90th percentile of precipitation time series.. The series is of daily precipitation value of 96 years, I have to to get 90the percentile value of daily precipitation each year. If you know the R code or command for this please let me know. I would appreciate your early response. Thanking you, Sincerely, Ajay.

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
