Which values are nearest to any given quantiles

Which values are nearest to any given quantiles

Usage

near_quantile(x, probs, tol = 0.01)

Arguments

x

vector

probs

quantiles to calculate

tol

tolerance in terms of x that you will accept near to the quantile. Default is 0.01.

Value

logical vector of TRUE/FALSE if number is close to a quantile

Examples

x <- runif(20)
near_quantile(x, 0.5, 0.05)
#>  [1]  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
#> [13] FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
near_quantile(x, c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), 0.05)
#>  [1]  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE
#> [13] FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE
