Kip, I get the same result as Raul. No need to load 'stats'. My new mean
does not include @ .
l=: 13 :'(i.<.-:#y){y'
r=: 13 :'|.(i.<.-:#y){|.y'
me=: 13 :'-:+/((<.,>.)-:<:#y){/:~y'
(<./;([:me l);me;([: me r);>./)1 2 2 4 6
--T---T-T-T-┐
│1│1.5│2│5│6│
L-+---+-+-+--
I'm happy because the definition is all forks.
5!:4 <'me'
