Re: [R] Error in Quantile function

I should also point out that the .01 and .99 quantiles for a set that only has 18 elements are not particularly meaningful results. And even the .05 and .95 ones are pretty suspect. You may be getting numbers, but what do they mean? -- David Winsemius On Nov 14, 2008, at 9:33 AM, irish

That worked the charm, the line that you suggested age me a bad atomic number error but I just assigned the spread$bootdataframe.age to a new vector and it works great. Thanks you have been a great help. Best in all to you and yours. David Winsemius wrote: > > > On Nov 13, 2008, at 7:56 PM

This is strange the first function that I am doing this for is saying in the typeof() is a double for some reason this is coming up as a list. > 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 ... > typeof(spread) [1] "

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. It's more likely that spread is a more complex object than you realize. We need to know what spread looks like to the R interpreter in the environment

If anyone can assist with this problem you have my great thanks: I am trying to establish and plot confidence intervals on a bootstrapped function. I have a more complicated function that has no problems with determining the confidence intervals using the quantile command. This is outside the b
