Hello,

No, there isn't a built-in that I know of.
Here is one:


double.mad <- function(x, include.right = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE){
  if(na.rm) x <- x[!is.na(x)]
  m <- median(x)
  odd <- (length(x) %% 2L) == 1L
  out <- if(odd){
    if(include.right) {
      c(lo = mad(x[x < m]), hi = mad(x[x >= m]))
    } else {
      c(lo = mad(x[x <= m]), hi = mad(x[x > m]))
    }
  } else {
    c(lo = mad(x[x < m]), hi = mad(x[x > m]))
  }
  out
}

double.mad(x)
#     lo      hi
#0.81543 0.44478

double.mad(c(x, 1))
#     lo      hi
#2.29803 0.44478

double.mad(c(x, 1), include.right = TRUE)
#     lo      hi
#1.03782 1.63086


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
