weighted.quantile: Quantiles of a weighted cdf

Description

A weighted cdf is calculated and quantiles are evaluated. Missing values are discarded.

Usage

weighted.quantile(x, w, prob = 0.5, plot = FALSE)

Value

The quantile according to prob (by default it returns the weighted median).

Arguments

x

a vector of data.

w

a vector of (sampling) weights.

prob

the probability for the quantile.

plot

if TRUE, the weighted cdf is plotted.

Author

Details

Weighted linear interpolation in case of non-unique inverse. Gives a warning when the contribution of the weight of the smallest observation to the total weight is larger than prob.
