[R] Obtaining x-values from ECDF

[Benjamin Zuckerberg]

Dear Group,

I am using the ecdf function as follows:

cawa.cdp <- ecdf(cawaocc$LEFF80)

summary(cawa.cdp)

Empirical CDF:    223 unique values with summary
    Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
0.07918 1.35700 1.68600 1.61000 1.91200 2.70000

I can see by the summary that the y-value for the 3rd quartile is 1.912.

How can I obtain the x-value for a specified y-value (e.g., 0.8)?


Thank you!
