?median yields Median Value Description Compute the sample median. Usage median(x,na.rm FALSE) Arquments x an object for which a method has been defined,or a numeric vector containing the values whose median is to be computed.na.rm a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds. Details This is a generic function for which methods can be written.However,the default method makes use of sort and mean,both of which are generic,and so the default method will work for most classes (e.g."Date")for which a median is a reasonable concept.
