Confidence interval for median — stat_median

Convenient function for calculating the median confidence interval. It can be used as a ggplot helper function for plotting.

Usage

stat_median_ci(x, conf_level = 0.95, na.rm = TRUE, gg_helper = TRUE)

Arguments

x: (numeric)
vector of numbers we want to analyze.
conf_level: (proportion)
confidence level of the interval.
na.rm: (flag)
whether NA values should be removed from x prior to analysis.
gg_helper: (flag)
whether output should be aligned for use with ggplots.

Value

A named vector of values median_ci_lwr and median_ci_upr.

Details

This function was adapted from DescTools/versions/0.99.35/source

Examples

stat_median_ci(sample(10), gg_helper = FALSE)
#> median_ci_lwr median_ci_upr 
#>             2             9 
#> attr(,"conf_level")
#> [1] 0.9785156
