How can I consistently round up .5 decimal values in R?

Question

The help of round states that ‘go to the even digit’ is used for rounding.

How can I have a consistent rounding mechanism?

For example:

This rounds up.

round(1.5, 0)

2

This rounds down.

round(4.5, 0)

4

In both cases I want it to round up.

But I also want 1,4 to round down and 1,7 to round up.

Before implementing this, you should think about whether you *really* need to always round up. There are good reasons that `round` works the way it does - to avoid bias. Have alook at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding — dww, Sep 13 '19 at 14:15
