Documentation for Eidos function quantile, which is a method of Eidos. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

eidos_quantile(x, probs)

Arguments

x

An object of type numeric. See details for description.

probs

An object of type null or float. The default value is NULL. See details for description.

Value

An object of type float.

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page NA.

Returns sample quantiles of x for the given probabilities. The smallest value in x corresponds to a probability of 0, and the largest value in x to a probability of 1. The probs vector should be a vector of probabilities in [0, 1], or NULL, which is equivalent to c(0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0), requesting sample quartiles. The quantile function linearly interpolates between the points of the empirical cumulative distribution function. In other words, if x is a vector of length n+1, then the quantiles with probs equal to (0, 1/n, 2/n, ..., (n−1)/n, 1) are equal to the sorted values of x, and the quantile is a linear function of probs otherwise. Note that there are many ways to compute quantiles; this algorithm corresponds to R's default "type 7" algorithm.
