Calculate the averaged (smoothed) quantile

Usage

averaged_quantile(
  x,
  w = NULL,
  probs = 0.5,
  na.rm = TRUE,
  quantiles_n = 9L,
  quantiles_w = c(1:4, 5, 4:1)
)

Arguments

x: numeric vector or an R object
w: numeric vector of sample weights the same length as x giving the weights to use for elements of x
probs: numeric; percentile with value [0,1]
na.rm: logical; if true, any NA or NaN's are removed from x before computation
quantiles_n: integer number of quantiles used for averaging; must be odd
quantiles_w: weights used for average quantiles; length must equal quantiles_n

Value

a numeric vector with length probs

Examples

averaged_quantile(x = mtcars$mpg, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75))
