Hi there! Still struggling to translate Matlab code into R's tsDyn package.
Here is my question: Is there in R an equivalent function to Matlab's
prctile()? To the moment I thought it was quantile(), but I just
realized I was wrong. The definition of the Matlab function:
prctile
Percentiles of a
It looks like
prctile(X,p) is the same as quantile(X,p)
i.e
x<-0:100
quantile(x,0.5) is the median(x)
and
quantile(x,0.1)=10 is the value that is greater than 10% percent of the
values in X

Hola Jose Luis,
Sure, you can use quantile(). Use the probs argument. For example, to
get the median do
quantile(X,probs=0.5).
Do ?quantile to learn about the different type of quantiles calculated
by the funcion.
Saludos,
Julian

Thank you all! But the problem is that quantile() returns "how many
data" are greater than p percent, and not a value in the domain of the
vector under scrutiny. For example, I have a vector

Try
quantile(x, .1, type=1)
or read
?quantile
for other options.

Ok, of course you were right. As Stefan pointed out, it was a
problem of the type of the vector: it was a factor and hence the
quantile was not what expected. Thank you all!!
