Dear all,
I would like to know the value of the top 1% and the top 99% of a variable. Just as a simple descriptive statistic of the data. This is probably easy, but I am trying to find this for over an hour now. Can someone please help me out.
The variable is numeric, a dollar amount for example.
set.seed(134)
x <- rnorm(1000)
quantile(x, c(0.01, 0.99))
Also, the tag for this shouldn't be tidyverse. general would be more appropriate.
Thank you! this works perfectly.
I am sorry, I may need something more.
What about the rank. So if I have 1000 observations, the value of observation 10 and 990?
Are they ordered?
If not you can sort them first.
sort(x)[c(10, 990)]
