[R] Frequency Distribution

[Michael Zatorsky]

Thankyou William.

I found the package and read through the
documentation.  I'm not a statistican, so it was
largely over my head.  I was looking for a
command/function that described itself as performing a
frequency distribution, and could not find anything
obvious enough.

What did you have in mind in the package that you
thought may help? 

All I'm looking to do is ask it to give me frequencies
and cumulative frequencies for the whole dataset,
using intervale widths of 100 or 1000 (in much the
same way the data would have to have been binned
before producing a histogram.


Regards
Michael.
