In dynutils: Common Functionality for the 'dynverse' Packages

Calculate a (weighted) mean between vectors or a list of vectors

Description

This function supports the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic mean.

Usage

calculate_mean(..., method, weights = NULL)

calculate_harmonic_mean(..., weights = NULL)

calculate_geometric_mean(..., weights = NULL)

calculate_arithmetic_mean(..., weights = NULL)

Arguments

...	Can be: One numeric vector A list containg numeric vectors Numeric vectors given as separate inputs
method	The aggregation function. Must be one of "arithmetic", "geometric", and "harmonic".
weights	Weights with the same length as ....

Examples

calculate_arithmetic_mean(0.1, 0.5, 0.9)
calculate_geometric_mean(0.1, 0.5, 0.9)
calculate_harmonic_mean(0.1, 0.5, 0.9)
calculate_mean(.1, .5, .9, method = "harmonic")

# example with multiple vectors
calculate_arithmetic_mean(c(0.1, 0.9), c(0.2, 1))

# example with a list of vectors
vectors <- list(c(0.1, 0.2), c(0.4, 0.5))
calculate_geometric_mean(vectors)

# example of weighted means
calculate_geometric_mean(c(0.1, 10), c(0.9, 20), c(0.5, 2), weights = c(1, 2, 5))
