It would almost trivial to make a wrapper tha first captures attributes, runs median, and then returns the Re-attribute-ed value. David. Sent from my iPhone > On May 5, 2021, at 8:29 AM, Gustavo Zapata Wainberg > wrote: > > Hi, thanks Dr. Mächler for your prompt response! > > I agree with

[Rd] Inconsistency in median()

2021-05-03 Thread Gustavo Zapata Wainberg
Hi! I'm wrinting this post because there is an inconsistency when median() is calculated for even or odd vectors. For odd vectors, attributes (such as labels added with Hmisc) are kept after running median(), but this is not the case if the vector is even, in this last case attributes are lost. I
