Hi, I'm using the v.centerpoint addon to determine the* centre point of an area (a country vector layer in degrees lat/long)*, and understand from the manual that the geometric median will give a more robust answer than the center of gravity with regard to possible outliers.
My query: for determining the centre of an area, is either of the median calculations (minimum distance to area triangulation or boundary segments) preferable? Is one more robust than the other, or is one method more widely used? Thanks very much for your comments.
