subsetting data with the median position
dat1 <- c(2,4,8,9,11,11,12)
dat1[dat1 > median(dat1)]
dat1[dat1 < median(dat1)]
dat2 <- c(2,4,8,9,11,11,12,15)
dat2[dat2 > median(dat2)]
dat2[dat2 < median(dat2)]
below_median <- function(x){ x[x < median(x)]}
above_median <- function(x){ x[x > median(x)]}
below_median(dat1)
below_median(dat2)

Dear All: is there away for subsetting data by the median position? Example: ------------ *Data1: *2, 4, 8, 9,11,11,12 *(n is odd)* *Data1: *2,4,8,9,11,11,12,15 * (n is even)* for Data1: * I want to get:* *lower half: 2 4 8* *upper half: 11 11 12* *for Data2: I want to get:* *lower half: 2 4 8 9* *upper half: 11 11 12 15* with many thanks steve
