Subject: median of binned values
Dear list,
I have a vector (array, table row, whatever is best) of frequency values
for categories (or bins), and I need to find the median category.
Trivial to do by hand, but I was wondering if there is a means to do it
in R in an elegant way.
The obvious medioan(vector) returns the median frequency for the binns,
and that is not what I want. i.e,:
freq
cat1 1
cat2 10
cat3 100
cat4 1000
cat5 10000
I want it to return cat5, instead of cat3.
Thanks a lot
Martin
