quantile.rv: Distribution of a Quantile of a Random Vector

In jsta/rv: Simulation-Based Random Variable Objects

Description

quantile.rv returns the distribution of the quantile of a random vector (as a random variable).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'rv'
quantile(x, ...)

Arguments

x	an object
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

A random vector (rv object) with components giving the distribution of the desired quantiles.

Note

quantile.rv does not return the simulated quantiles of the quantiles of the argument x. This is done by rvquantile.
