A function to calculate thresholds of cumulative sums in a vector.
Description
This function tells us how far we have to
go before reaching a cutoff in a variable
by sorting the vector, then finding how far
to go. Note that the cutoff is expressed in
percentage terms (fixed cumulative sum)
Usage
cutoff(x, cutoff, na.rm = TRUE)
Arguments
x
a numeric vector, missing values are allowed
cutoff
a user defined numeric value to stop the cutoff specified as
a proportion 0 to 1
na.rm
logical, should missing values be excluded?
Details
Calculates the distance through a numeric vector before a certain
proportion of the sum is reached by sorting the vector and calculating the
cumulative proportion of each element
Value
An integer for the minimum number of elements necessary to reach cutoff
Author(s)
Jared E. Knowles
Examples
# for vector
a <- rnorm(100, mean=6, sd=1)
cutoff(a, .7) #return minimum number of elements to account 70 percent of total
