Hi everyone! I have a problem I hope someone could help me with.
I have a vector from which I want to store the values below some percentile. So I tried both quantile() and prctile() like this:
quant_q = quantile(Q, quantile_lim);
while i <= length(Q)
if Q(i) <= quant_q
base_q(j) = Q(i);
...
The strange thing is that I only get values like 0.7000, 0.8000, 0.3000 though I know I have values that are below my quantile limit with another "decimal form", e.g. 0.7422. Why do I only get decimal values that end in zeros? Does anyone know why I get this strange behaviour? I would very much appreciate any help on this!

can you produce a copy/paste-able example of typical SMALL data set and a complete loop...

Thanks! It was the original data file that was a little bit screwed up. Thank you for your help! :)
