MORE INFORMATION
Median
[
list
]
gives the center element in the sorted version of
list
, or the average of the two center elements if
list
is of even length.
Median
[{{
x
1
,
y
1
,
...
}, {
x
2
,
y
2
,
...
},
...
}]
gives
{Median[{
x
1
,
x
2
,
...
}], Median[{
y
1
,
y
2
,
...
}]}
.
Median
works with
SparseArray
objects.
