tuple_mediantuple_medianTupleMedianTupleMediantuple_median (Operator)

Name

tuple_mediantuple_medianTupleMedianTupleMediantuple_median — Return the median of the elements of a tuple.

Signature

Description

tuple_mediantuple_medianTupleMedianTupleMediantuple_median calculates the median of all elements of the input tuple TupleTupleTupletupletuple and returns it in the output parameter MedianMedianMedianmedianmedian. The input tuple may only consist of numbers (integer or floating point numbers). The median is defined as the element with rank n/2 (see tuple_select_ranktuple_select_rankTupleSelectRankTupleSelectRanktuple_select_rank).

Note that for an even number of input elements, this will return the upper median, not the arithmetic median. To calculate the arithmetic median, you can use tuple_select_ranktuple_select_rankTupleSelectRankTupleSelectRanktuple_select_rank to select the upper and lower median values and then calculate the arithmetic mean of both values.

Exception: Empty input tuple

If the input tuple is empty, an exception is raised.
