median of column with awk
问题 How can I use AWK to compute the median of a column of numerical data? I can think of a simple algorithm but I can't seem to program it: What I have so far is: sort | awk 'END{print NR}' And this gives me the number of elements in the column. I'd like to use this to print a certain row (NR/2) . If NR/2 is not an integer, then I round up to the nearest integer and that is the median, otherwise I take the average of (NR/2)+1 and (NR/2)-1 . 回答1: This awk program assumes one column of numerically
