Round up from .5

Question

Yes I know why we always round to the nearest even number if we are in the exact middle (i.e. 2.5 becomes 2) of two numbers. But when I want to evaluate data for some peopl

Answer 1

This mimics the rounding away from zero at .5:

round_2 <- function(x, digits = 0) {
  x = x + abs(x) * sign(x) * .Machine$double.eps
  round(x, digits = digits)
}

round_2(.5 + -2:4)

-2 -1  1  2  3  4  5
