I've never seen Median in R:BASE, but Average among other statistics given by
the special R:BASE COMMAND COMPUTE (that according to Gunnar Ekblad is not an
SQL-command). For example:
R>COMPUTE ALL income FROM bookkepptable
Count = 33
Rows = 55
Minimum = 461.
Maximum = 15395.72
Sum = 63189.72
Average = 1914.83999171402
Std Dev = 2585.32878410346
Variance = 6683924.92191387
Could some more statistical values be added to the COMPUTE command in the future
as an enhancement, things would be a little bit easier in quantitative research.
