Deprecated in lighthouse 0.7.0. The main use case for this function was to avoid type errors in dplyr::if_else() and case_when(), but this is no longer necessary with
changes introduced in dplyr v1.1.0.
Returns median of x as a double vector. Alternative to stats::median()
when a consistent return value is needed.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# stats::median raises error because of inconsistent return types
### note this no longer raises an error with dplyr >= 1.1.0
dplyr::if_else(c(TRUE, FALSE), median(1:4), median(1:5))
# Error in `dplyr::if_else()`:
# ! `false` must be a double vector, not an integer vector.
# dplyr::if_else(c(TRUE, FALSE), median_dbl(1:4), median_dbl(1:5))
# 2.5 3.0
} # }
