Weighted quantiles
Description
Functions to compute weighted quantiles and the weighted interquartile range.
Usage
wquantile(wt = rep(1,length(x)), x, probs, already.sorted = FALSE,
already.normalized = FALSE)
wIQR(wt = rep(1,length(x)), x, already.sorted = FALSE,
already.normalized = FALSE)
Arguments
wt |
Vector of weights |
x |
Vector of data, same length as |
probs |
Numeric vector of probabilities with values in [0,1]. |
already.sorted |
If FALSE, sort |
already.normalized |
If FALSE, normalize |
Details
wquantile
uses the findInterval
function. wIQR
calls the wquantile
function.
Value
Returns the sample quantiles or interquartile range of a discrete distribution with
support points x
and corresponding probability masses wt

IQR(1:10)
wIQR(x=1:10) # Note: Different algorithm than IQR function
wIQR(1:10,1:10) # Weighted quartiles are now 4 and 8
