Scilab Function

median - median (row median, column median) of vector/matrix entries

### Calling Sequence

  `y=median(x)`
  `y=median(x,'r')`
  `y=median(x,'c')`

### Parameters

- `x` : real vector or matrix
- `y` : scalar or vector

### Description

For a vector or a matrix `x` , `y=median(x)` returns in the scalar `y` the median of all the entries of `x` .

`y=median(x,'r')` (or, equivalently, `y=median(x,1)` ) is the rowwise median. It returns in each entry of the column vector `y` the median of each row of `x` .

`y=median(x,'c')` (or, equivalently, `y=median(x,2)` ) is the columnwise median. It returns in each entry of the row vector `y` the median of each column of `x` .

### Examples

    A=[1,2,10;7,7.1,7.01];
    median(A)
    median(A,'r')
    median(A,'c')
