title: Round up from .5
body: <p>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 people they don't want this behaviour. What is the simplest method to get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>x &lt;- seq(0.5,9.5,by=1)
  round(x)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to be 1,2,3,...,10 and not 0,2,2,4,4,...,10.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: To clearify: 1.4999 should be 1 after rounding. (I thought this would be obvious)</p>
