Create pentiles of a variable
Takes in a vector, and returns a vector of pentiles
pentile(vector, decreasing = FALSE)

pentile is a convinient function to get integer pentiles of an integer or
numeric vector. By default, the smallest values are placed in the smallest pentile.
Sometimes one may want to put smallest values in the biggest pentile, and for that
the user can set the decreasing argument to TRUE; by default it is
FALSE.

# Scores vector
scores <- c(1, 4, 7, 10, 15, 21, 25, 27, 32, 35,
49, 60, 75, 23, 45, 86, 26, 38, 34, 67)
# Create pentiles based on the values of the vector
pentileScores <- pentile(vector = scores)
pentileScores <- pentile(vector = scores, decreasing = TRUE)Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
