median - Median value of array

Syntax

M = median(A)
M = median(A,dim)

Description

M = median(A) returns the median values of the elements along different dimensions of an array.

If A is a vector, median(A) returns the median value of A.

If A is a matrix, median(A) treats the columns of A as vectors, returning a row vector of median values.

If A is a multidimensional array, median(A) treats the values along the first nonsingleton dimension as vectors, returning an array of median values.

M = median(A,dim) returns the median values for elements along the dimension of A specified by scalar dim.

Examples

A = [1 2 4 4; 3 4 6 6; 5 6 8 8; 5 6 8 8];
median(A) 

ans =

     4     5     7     7

median(A,2)

ans =

     3
     5
     7
     7
