[R] get the percentage rank of a value based on an empirical data vector

[Martin Batholdy]

Hi,

I have a vector with values:

x <- rnorm(1000, 5, 2)


and one single value:
y <- 6.2

now I would like to know the percent rank of y based on the 'population'-vector x.
Is there a convenient function that calculates the percent rank of a y for the given vector x?


thanks!
