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!!

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

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

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

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

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
