[R-sig-teaching] subsetting data with the median position

Dear All: is there away for subsetting data by the median position? Example: *Data1: *2, 4, 8, 9,11,11,12 *(n is odd)* *Data1: *2,4,8,9,11,11,12,15 * (n is even)* for Data1: * I want to get:* *lower half: 248* *upper half:11 11 12* *for Data2: I

Re: [R-sig-teaching] subsetting data with the median position

The issue of ties probably has no answer that is best in all situations. Here’s what mosaic::ntiles() does: > x <- c(2,4,8,9,11,11,11,12,15) > rbind(x, ntiles(x, 2)) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] x2489 11 11 11 12 15 111112
