Median (Q 50)

Description

Median as the 50th quantile with an option to select quantile algorithm

Usage

median2(x, type = 7, na.rm = FALSE)

q50(x, type = 7, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

`x`	numeric vector whose sample quantiles are wanted, or an object of a class for which a method has been defined (see also ‘details’). `NA` and `NaN` values are not allowed in numeric vectors unless `na.rm` is `TRUE`.
`type`	an integer between 1 and 9 selecting one of the nine quantile algorithms detailed below to be used.
`na.rm`	logical; if true, any `NA` and `NaN`'s are removed from `x` before the quantiles are computed.

Details

q50 is an alias for median2

Value

See stats::quantile()

Examples

set.seed(42)
x <- rnorm(100)
median(x)            # 0.08979677
median2(x, type = 7) # 0.08979677 - default type is 7
median2(x, type = 3) # 0.08976065
