Round a numeric vector; halves will be rounded up, ala Microsoft Excel.

Description

In base R round(), halves are rounded to even, e.g., 12.5 and 11.5 are both rounded to 12. This function rounds 12.5 to 13 (assuming digits = 0). Negative halves are rounded away from zero, e.g., -0.5 is rounded to -1.

This may skew subsequent statistical analysis of the data, but may be desirable in certain contexts. This function is implemented exactly from https://stackoverflow.com/a/12688836; see that question and comments for discussion of this issue.

Usage

round_half_up(x, digits = 0)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector to round.
digits	how many digits should be displayed after the decimal point?

Examples

round_half_up(12.5)
round_half_up(1.125, 2)
round_half_up(1.125, 1)
round_half_up(-0.5, 0) # negatives get rounded away from zero
