There is a function called quantile() that provides 9 methods of computing quantiles, three of which are appropriate for discontinuous data. Type

?quantile

at the command prompt for details.

Dear all, is there a general method for calculating the quantile of a discrete random variable? If yes, is there a R function to do this?
Best regards
