Hi,
I have a circular shaped set of point on the plane (X,Y) centered in
zero. The distribution is more dense close to zero and less dense far
from zero.
I need to find the radius of a circle centered in zero that contains
65% of the points in the sample. Is there any R directive that can do
this?
I wanna start with 2D set of points, but the real case scenario is
with a 5D set of points.
Something along the lines of
dxy= with(dfm, sqrt(x^2 +y^2))
quantile(dxy, probs=0.65)
The generalization to 5 dimensions appears trivial. Even the
generalization to finding the radius around an arbitrary point seems
trivial assuming an L2 norm.
