Quantile: Sample quantile for weighted data

In wINEQ: Inequality Measures for Weighted Data

Sample quantile for weighted data

Description

Computes quantile derived for the given probability taking into account weights.

Usage

Quantile(X, W = rep(1, length(X)), p = 0.5)

Arguments

X	is a numeric data vector
W	is a vector of weights
p	is a probability to derive corresponding quantile

Details

Linear interpolation is applied to deal with a frequency distribution.

Value

The quantile for weighted data.

Examples

# Compare weighted and unweighted result
X=1:10
W=10:1
Quantile(X,p=0.5)
Quantile(X,W,p=0.5)
