weightedMean

Weighted mean

Compute the weighted mean.

weightedMean(x, weights = NULL, na.rm = FALSE)

`x`	a numeric vector.
`weights`	an optional numeric vector giving the sample weights.
`na.rm`	a logical indicating whether missing values in `x` should be omitted.

This is a simple wrapper function calling weighted.mean if sample weights are supplied and mean otherwise.

The weighted mean of values in x is returned.
