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

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

Hi all, I have a problem on how R calculates Percentiles : Suppose I have following data set: > data1 [1] -16648185 -14463457 -14449400 -13905309 -13443436 -13234755 -12956282 -11660896 [9] -10061040 -9805005 -9789583 -9754642 -9562164 -9391709 -9212182 -9151073 [17] -9092732 -9068214 -8978151 -8943912 -8761890 -8632106 -8541580 -8501249 [25] -8234466 -8219015

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,

In R, what is the best way to convert z-scores (Normal distribution) to a percentiles, and vice-versa. (I'll be looking to do the same with other distributions eventually.) === Peter Petto <ppetto at ppetto.com> Bay Village, OH 440.249.4289

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"

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? -- Art Salwin

Hello I need to calculate and insert the values for the 50,75,90,95 & 99 percentiles in a data frame for each row. I used agr1$quantile <- quantile(agr1$cnt, probs=c(.50, .75, .90, .95, .99)) but that didn't work. How can calculate the percentile for my variable "cnt" , insert & name the percentile as p50, p75, etc in my data frame agr1? Thanks in advance for your

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

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

Hi all, One quick question: How to put values of 25 and 75 percentile on boxplot? Thanks in advance.

Hi- I wanted percentage labels on a qqnorm x axis. I used the following: #make up some data jt<-rnorm(100) #qqnorm with percentile x labels qqnorm(jt,axes=F,xlab="Percentiles") box() l<-c(1,5,10,30,50,70,90,95,99) axis(1,at=qnorm(l/100),label=l) which was ok for this data set. Does anyone have a more general solution which would allow one to specify the number of x labels

I downloaded version 0.3.12 of TZInfo from [1], and observed that it has a very robust set of timezones including, for example, ''America/ Anchorage'': irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems'' => false irb(main):002:0> require ''tzinfo'' => true irb(main):003:0> TZInfo::Timezone.get(''America/Anchorage'') =>

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

hello; firstly, my gratitude to all who help me to find a function that allows me to add confidence interval to my graph. in order to calculate the (1-alpha)th percentile of for exemple an F(df1,df2) distribution i do like this: v<-df(alpha,df1,df2) percentile<-qf(v,df1,df2,alpha) if it is true please alert me , and if it is not what should do then? :handshake: -- View this message in

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.

Dear Nabble. I am trying to draw a box percentile plot with trellis using the panel in Hmisc. I really want to colour the plots in. I can alter several of features of the plot by changing the trellis par settings but I just can’t fill the shape in. Here is some example code which alters line colour and dot symbol: require(lattice) require(Hmisc)

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

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

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?
