Hi,
1.) The "median" function does not work well. Please refer to the data
below (same data is attached as txt-delimited). This is what I try to
do in R:
median ( dataf [2:9] )
I get warning: "needs numeric data"
2.) BUT if apply the median to a single vector:
median ( dataf [,2]] )
then it works:
3.) How come the "median" function does not let me take the median of
all 8 vectors at once? Obviously, if I can perform the test on a single
array, then it means I have numeric data because I do not get warning.
Also, if I look at the "mode" for each array I get "numeric".
