Split_quantile from {fabricatr} - which tercile is which?

FrancescoP98 · June 7, 2021, 3:29pm

Hi,
I used this formula to divide into terciles the variable "ESG_Score" and then I tried to plot it. Can you please tell me if the "split_quantile" function sorts the numbers in an Ascending or Descending order? I heard that it does it in a descending order so the 3rd tercile is where you find the highest numbers.
Is that true? Does it sort the numbers?
Thanks in advance

Formula:
"tercile = split_quantile(ESG_Score, type = 3)"

Sorry in a descending order I guess the 3rd tercile is where you find the lowest numbers. Thanks and please let me know.

its ascending, 1 has the low numbers, and 3 has the high numbers.
