wtd_quantile: Weighted quantiles

In jcpernias/ec1047: Code and data for the EC1047 course

Description

Compute the quantiles of x weighted by weights.

Usage

wtd_quantile(x, probs, weights = NULL)

Arguments

x	a numerical vector.
probs	a numerical vector with the quantile probabilities.
weights	a numerical vector of weights the same length as x.

Details

If weights is NULL, all elements of x receive the same weight. Observations with zero weights are omitted from the computation. Missing values are not handled specially and produce missing values as the result.

Value

A numeric vector with the weighted quantiles of x.

Other weighted statistics: wtd_mean(), wtd_median()

Examples

wtd_quantile(1:5, weights = 5:1, probs = (1:4)/5)
