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 frequently be necessary.
?quantile
Talking about percentiles when you only have 10 numbers seems rather
misleading, don't you think?
