Hi all,
I have a vector xm say:  xm = c(1,2,3,4,5,5,5,6,6)

I want to return a vector with the corresponding probabilities based on the
amount of times the numbers occurred. For example, I should get the
following vector for xm:
prob.xm = c(1/9, 1/9, 1/9, 1/9, 3/9, 3/9, 3/9, 2/9, 2/9)
?prop.table

Usage (with table)

> prob.xm <- round( prop.table(table(xm)), digits=3)
> prob.xm
xm
    1     2     3     4     5     6
0.111 0.111 0.111 0.111 0.333 0.222
