How to find the quantiles in R without quantile name?


The calculation of quantiles in R is very simple, we just need to use quantile function and it returns all the quantiles that are 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. If we want to avoid the printing the name of these quantiles then we can use names=FALSE with the quantile function. For example, if we have a vector called x then the quantiles without names can be found as quantile(x,names=FALSE).

Example

x1<-sample(1:100,50,replace=TRUE)
x1

Example

quantile(x1)

Output
