medianover

Calculates the median value (i.e., 50th percentile) of a variable over selected grids (i.e., independent variables)

var [ grids ... ] minfrac medianover

Arguments
labeltypedescription
var variable variable of which median is to be calculated
grids grid set grid(s) (i.e., independent variables) over which median is to be calculated
minfrac number Minimum fraction of data that must be present (i.e., fraction not indicated as missing) within the selected domain in order for the median to be calculated. If minfrac is not present, then a missing value is returned. If minfrac is not given, then the median is calculated regardless of the amount of data present in the domain. (optional)
Returns
median variable median of var with respect to grids

median is not dependent on grids, but is dependent on any other grids that var depended on (if any). It is also dependent on a new grid , percentile, which contains a single value, 0.5, indicating that median represents the 50th percentile.
