Calculate Median of elements of a Vector in R Programming – median() Function
median() function in R Language is used to calculate the median of the elements of the numeric vector passed as argument.
Syntax: median(x, na.rm)
Parameters:
x: Numeric Vector
na.rm: Boolean value to ignore NA
Example 1:
# R program to calculate median of a vector # Creating vector x1 <- c(2, 3, 5, 7, 4, 8, 6) x2 <- c(-3, -5, 6, 2, -4) # Calling median() function median(x1) median(x2) |

Output:
[1] 5 [1] -3
Example 2:
# R program to calculate median of a vector # Creating vector x <- c(2, 3, 5, NA, 4, NA, 6) # Calling median() function # with NA values included median(x, na.rm = FALSE) # Calling median() function # with NA values excluded median(x, na.rm = TRUE) |
