weighted.quantile: Quantiles of a weighted cdf

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

View source: R/weighted.quantile.R

Description

A weighted cdf is calculated and quantiles are evaluated. Missing values are discarded.

Usage

1
weighted.quantile(x, w, prob = 0.5, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

x

vector of data

w

vector of (sampling) weights

prob

The probability for the quantile

plot

if TRUE the weighted cdf is plotted

Details

Weighted linear interpolation in case of non-unique inverse. Gives a warning when the contribution of the weight of the smallest observation to the total weight is larger than prob.

Value

The quantile for proporiont prob.

Note

No variance calculation.
