mad {base} | R Documentation |
mad
provides a scale estimate based on the
median absolute deviation.
The actual value calculated is
constant * (median(abs(x - center)))
with the default value of
center
being median(x)
.
If na.rm
is TRUE
then NA
values are stripped from x
before computation takes place.
If this is not done then an NA
value in
x
will cause mad
to return NA
.
