Thanks, for the response! Unfortunately, I was unclear; my problem is not that I need to know what the percentile ranges are, but that I need to assign an appropriate percentile range to each of the records in my dataframe. My dataframe contains somewhere between 1000 and 9000 rows/records in my dataframe (depending on context), not a hundred rows. That is, I'd like to assign a corresponding quantile value to each row that corresponds to the quantile() result for each record in my 1000-9000 row data frame.
Thanks again for any help!
