Returns the n highest/lowest observations from a numeric vector.
Usage
ds_tailobs(data, n, type = c("low", "high"), decimals = 2)
Arguments
- data
a numeric vector
- n
number of observations to be returned
- type
if low, the n lowest observations are returned, else the highest n observations are returned.
- decimals
An option to specify the exact number of decimal places to use. The default number of decimal places is 2.
Value
n highest/lowest observations from data
Details
Any NA values are stripped from data before computation takes place.
Examples
# 5 lowest observations
ds_tailobs(mtcarz$mpg, 5)
#> [1] 10.4 10.4 13.3 14.3 14.7
# 5 highest observations
ds_tailobs(mtcarz$mpg, 5, type = "high")
#> [1] 33.9 32.4 30.4 30.4 27.3
# specify decimal places to display
ds_tailobs(mtcarz$mpg, 5, decimals = 3)
#> [1] 10.4 10.4 13.3 14.3 14.7
