SampleQuantiles: R6 Sample Quantiles

In MaaniBeigy/DescObs: Versatile Exploration of Data

Description

The R6 class SampleQuantiles produces the sample quantiles corresponding to the given probabilities. It uses quantile from the package stats.

Arguments

x	An R object. Currently there are methods for numeric vectors
na.rm	a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
digits	integer indicating the number of decimal places to be used.
probs	numeric vector of probabilities with values in [0,1].
names	logical; if TRUE, the result has a names attribute regarding the percentiles.
type	an integer between 1 and 9 selecting one of the nine quantile algorithms explained in quantile to be used.

Examples

x <- c(
   0.2, 0.5, 1.1, 1.4, 1.8, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 3.5, 4.4,
   4.6, 5.4, 5.4, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.6, 7.1, 7.9
)
SampleQuantiles$new(x)$qx()
percentile_95 <-  SampleQuantiles$new(x, na.rm = TRUE, digits = 2, probs = 0.95)
percentile_95$qx()
percentile_75 <-  SampleQuantiles$new(x, na.rm = TRUE, digits = 3, probs = 0.75)
percentile_75$qx()
R6::is.R6(percentile_95)
