myRound: Round 5 up to the next higher integer

In modehunt: Multiscale Analysis for Density Functions

Description

The built-in R function round rounds a 5 to the even digit. Instead, we preferred the more intuitive rounding meaning that a 5 is always rounded to the next higher digit.

Usage

myRound(d)

Arguments

d	Real number.

Value

The biggest integer not bigger than d if d - \lfloor d \rfloor < 0.5 and the smallest integer greater than d if d - \lfloor d \rfloor ≥ 0.5.
