However, even after the patch, The example from the SO post differs from the result of Richie Cotton's function...
The explanation is quite simple. In SO function, the first 1/3 quantile of used example counts 6 points (of 19 in total), while line()'s definition of quantile leads to 8 points. The same numbers (6 and 8) are on the other end of sample. In x sample, there are few repeated values, this is certainly be the reason of different quantiles..
I am not sure that one quantile definition is better or more correct than the other. So I would leave line()'s definition as is. Best, Sergueï. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
