Description

Computes the weighted quantiles of a distribution.

Usage

                  na.rm = FALSE, names = FALSE)

Value

A numeric vector of the same length as probs argument.

Arguments

x

numeric vector whose sample quantiles are wanted

weights

numeric vector of weights. If NULL (default), uniform weights (i.e. all equal to 1) are used.

probs

numeric vector of probabilities with values in [0,1]

na.rm

logical, indicating whether NA values should be silently removed before the computation proceeds. Default is FALSE.
