Compute the distribution sample median of the vector of values given as its
argument.
Usage
# S3 method for rv
median(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
Arguments
x
a randomv vector containing the components whose distribution of
the median value is to be computed.
na.rm
a logical value indicating whether NA values should be
stripped before the computation proceeds.
…
