quantile.im: Sample Quantiles of Pixel Image

Description

Compute the sample quantiles of the pixel values of a given pixel image.

Usage

# S3 method for im
quantile(x, ...)

Value

A vector of quantiles.

Arguments

x

A pixel image. An object of class "im".

...

Optional arguments passed to quantile.default. They determine the probabilities for which quantiles should be computed. See quantile.default.

Z <- setcov(square(1))

# find the quartiles
quantile(Z)

# find the deciles
quantile(Z, probs=(0:10)/10)
