The vector of weights w
is relative since the formula is:
Arguments
- x
A numeric vector.
- w
A vector of numeric weights of the same length as x
.
Value
The weighted mean as a scalar value
Details
$$ y = \frac{1}{\sum w_i} \sum w_i x_i $$
If x
contains NA
s, these x
values and the corresponding w
values are removed before applying the
formula above.
Examples
x <- c(1:10)
w <- c(10:1)
