Compute Quantiles

uocquantile is a function which computes quantiles of an unordered, ordered or continuous variable x.

uocquantile(x, prob)

Arguments

x

an ordered, unordered or continuous variable.

prob

quantile to compute.

Value

A quantile computed from x.

Details

uocquantile is a function which computes quantiles of an unordered, ordered or continuous variable x. If x is unordered, the mode is returned. If x is ordered, the level for which the cumulative distribution is >= prob is returned. If x is continuous, quantile is invoked and the result returned.
