New Version (2.10.0) weighted mean produces unreasonable result: see below.
wt <- c(5, 5, 4, 1)/15
x <- c(3.7,3.3,3.5,2.8)
x[4] <- NA
(xm <- weighted.mean(x,wt,na.rm=T))
Outcome is
> (xm <- weighted.mean(x,wt,na.rm=T))
[1] 3.266667
The number is obtained by treating x[4] <- 0
I think the old version(2.8.0)'s weighte mean is more reasonable. The old output
was
> (xm <- weighted.mean(x,wt,na.rm=T))
[1] 3.5
The number si obtained ignoring the x[4], which is NA.
