Try this to get you started:

table(roe1 > median(roe1), roe0 > median(roe0))

Plotting roe0 against roe1 shows that there is a convincing correlation between them, and is confirmed by the correlation coefficient. So far, so good. What I'd like to do is answer the question: what is the probability that roe1 is above the median (of roe1) given that roe0 is above the median (of roe0). Is there a simple way of doing this in R?
