calculate_mean {dynutils}

Calculate a (weighted) mean between vectors or a list of vectors

Description

This function supports the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic mean.

Usage

calculate_mean(..., method, weights = NULL)

calculate_harmonic_mean(..., weights = NULL)

calculate_geometric_mean(..., weights = NULL)

calculate_arithmetic_mean(..., weights = NULL)

Arguments

...

Can be:

• One numeric vector

• A list containg numeric vectors

• Numeric vectors given as separate inputs

method

The aggregation function. Must be one of "arithmetic", "geometric", and "harmonic".

weights

Weights with the same length as ....

Examples

calculate_arithmetic_mean(0.1, 0.5, 0.9)
calculate_geometric_mean(0.1, 0.5, 0.9)
calculate_harmonic_mean(0.1, 0.5, 0.9)
calculate_mean(.1, .5, .9, method = "harmonic")

# example with multiple vectors
calculate_arithmetic_mean(c(0.1, 0.9), c(0.2, 1))

# example with a list of vectors
vectors <- list(c(0.1, 0.2), c(0.4, 0.5))
calculate_geometric_mean(vectors)

# example of weighted means
calculate_geometric_mean(c(0.1, 10), c(0.9, 20), c(0.5, 2), weights = c(1, 2, 5))
