- Definition
- value representing for n real values not necessarily different from each other, real number such that the number of values less than it is equal to the number of values greater than it.
- Definition source
- IEC 60050, 103-08-15; IEC 62569-1:2017
- Note
- If n is odd, the median is the value of rank (n+1)/2 when the values are arranged in increasing order. If n is even, the median may be any number between the values of rank n/2 and (n/2+1) usually the arithmetic mean of these two values
- Remark
- The term median is a good choice to represent the centre of distribution when the distribution is skewed or has outliers
