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) |
