[R] can I add line breaks to the paste() function?

Can I add a line break to the paste() function to return the following: 'this is the first line' 'this is the second line' instead of 'this is the first line this is the second line' ? __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/

[R] is there a function to find the quantile of the mean of a vector?

Hello, I am interested in finding the quantile of the mean of a vector, something analogous to using the pnorm(), but for an mcmc chain instead of a distribution with known parameters. One approach would be to write a function that finds the index of x_i that minimizes (x-mean(x))^2 I suspect th
