experimental Compute the weighted percentages for a LIS or LWS variable.
Usage
compute_percentiles(
file,
file_name,
variable,
breaks = seq(0, 1, 0.1),
weight = NULL,
na.rm = FALSE
)Arguments
- file
A LIS or LWS file.
- file_name
The name of the LIS or LWS file.
- variable
A character vector of length one with the indicator that needs to be transformed.
- breaks
A numeric vector specifying the percentiles that should be computed. Defaults to all deciles.
- weight
A string with the name of the variable in 'file' that should be used as sample weights.
- na.rm
A boolean indicating if the computation should ignore missing values in 'variable' and 'weight'.
Value
A data.frame with two columns: 'percentile' and 'value'. The first contains the label of the percentiles computed (e.g. '0.5' for median, '0.2' for first quintile). The second contains the values of these in the distribution of 'variable'.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
lissy_datasets <- read_lissy_files(c("fr84h", "fr94h", "fr10h"))
compute_percentiles(lissy_datasets[["fr1984h"]], variable = "dhi", na.rm = TRUE)
} # }
