Well, dataframes _are_ lists. > >> str(spread) > 'data.frame': 18 obs. of 1 variable: > $ bootdataframe.age: num 1.46e-09 1.67e-09 1.46e-09 1.45e-09 > 1.37e-09 ... I'm pretty sure you cannot send an entire dataframe to quantile. Pretty sure you need to give a vector argument. So what happens when you try: exp_CIs <- quantile( spread$bootdataframe.age, probs=c(0.01,0.05,0.95,0.99) ) -- David Winsemius Heritage Labs > >> typeof(spread) > [1] "list" >> class(spread) > [1] "data.frame" >> > > > David Winsemius wrote: >> >> Please show us what you get when you execute: >> >> str(spead) >> typeof(spread) >> class(spread) >> >> It is doubtful that either of your theories is correct.
