I have an example data frame
x l.c.1
43.38812035 085
47.55710661 085
47.55710661 085
51.99211429 085
51.99211429 095
54.78449958 095
54.78449958 095
56.70201864 095
56.70201864 105
59.66361903 105
61.69573564 105
61.69573564 105
63.77469479 115
64.83191994 115
64.83191994 115
66.98222118 115
66.98222118 125
66.98222118 125
66.98222118 125
66.98222118 125
and I'd like to get the 3rd quantile by l.c.1 so I use
tapply(x, l.c.1, quantile)
and my output includes all quantiles (i.e., 0, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
but I'm only interested in the 75% quantile. Is there an additional
statement or function I can use to get just the quantile that I want?
Thanks for your help -
