rounding. For example, 1.5 and 2.5 would both be rounded to 2 when using R. While this is less common than the method used in SPSS, this is still a valid rounding technique and is accepted amongst the mathematical community. The idea behind this method is that it eliminates bias away from zero, as numbers are evenly split for rounding up or down, rather than .5 always being rounded

up. LJƚŚŽŶĂůƐŽƵƐĞƐĂ͞ƌŽƵŶĚŚĂůĨƚŽĞǀĞŶ͟ŵĞƚŚŽĚ͘

For example, if you had a percentage of people seen within 4 hours in Emergency Departments at 90.25%, this would be rounded down to 90.2% using R, when this would normally be expected to round up to

90.3%. As a result, the output would be slightly lower than what would be expected.

It is strongly advised that the round_half_up function should be used in all analysis.
