weighted_quantile: Weighted Quantiles

Description

Calculates weighted quantiles based on the generalized inverse of the weighted ECDF. If no weights are passed, uses stats::quantile.

Usage

weighted_quantile(x, w = NULL, probs = seq(0, 1, 0.25), na.rm = TRUE,
  names = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector.

w

Optional non-negative case weights.

probs

Vector of probabilities.

na.rm

Ignore missing data?

names

Return names?

...

Further arguments passed to stats::quantile in the unweighted case. Not used in the weighted case.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
n <- 10
x <- seq_len(n)
quantile(x)
weighted_quantile(x)
weighted_quantile(x, w = rep(1, n))
quantile(x, type = 1)
weighted_quantile(x, w = x) # same as Hmisc::wtd.quantile
weighted_quantile(x, w = x, names = FALSE)
weighted_quantile(x, w = x, probs = 0.5, names = FALSE)

# Example with integer weights
x <- c(1, 1:11, 11, 11)
w <- seq_along(x)
weighted_quantile(x, w)
quantile(rep(x, w)) # same
# }
