Subject   st: obtaining specific percentiles of simulated distribution
Date   Sun, 28 Aug 2005 20:34:21 +1000

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
