Caps the outliers of a numeric vector by percentiles. Also outputs a plot of the capped distribution
cap_outliers(x, q = 0.05, type = c("both", "upper", "lower"))Arguments
- x
numeric vector
- q
decimal input to the quantile function to set cap. default .05 caps at the 95 and 5th percentile
- type
chr vector. where to cap: both, upper, or lower
Value
numeric vector
