Median of frequency distribution table (numerical variable)
Description
S3 method for the median of a fdt
.
Useful to estimate the median (when the real data vector is not known) from a previous fdt
.
Usage
## S3 method: numerical
## S3 method for class 'fdt'
median(x, ...)
Arguments

Details
median.fdt
calculates the value of the median based on a known formula.
median.fdt.multiple
calls mean.fdt
for each variable, that is, each column of the data.frame.
Value
mean.fdt
returns a numeric vector containing the value of the median of the fdt
.
median.fdt.multiple
returns a list, where each element is a numeric vector
containing the value of the median of the fdt
for each variable.
