st: obtaining specific percentiles of simulated distribution
Date

I have simulated (1000x) the t statistic from N(0,1) distribution of
varying n.
I wish to access values of t at percentiles 2.5 & 97.5 to assess how
coverage varies with n.
Whilst this the t distribution is symmetrical I plan to look at other
statistics where this may not be so & as such don't want to rely on the
5th or 95th percentile.
I have tried return(p) after summarize, however it only gives a limited
number of choices.
Any help would be appreciated
thanks Richard Hiscock
