Subject: median by geometric mean
Will this do?
x <- runif(20, 1, 100)
exp( median( log( x) ) )

Hi All,
I need to calculate the median for even number of data points.However
instead of calculating
the arithmetic mean of the two middle values,I need to calculate their
geometric mean.
Though I can code this in R, possibly in a few lines, but wondering if
there
is
already some built in function.
Can somebody give a hint?
Thanks in advance
