Revisited "Make median behave on arrays as mean and var"

[cbecker]

#2266 made median work on all elements of an array, but there is still the problem that it is not possible to do median(M, 2) as a way to compute the median along a specific dimension.

Did you try mapslices? We can add the convenience definitions.

[cbecker]

Thanks! I didn't know about mapslices, that's amazing. The PR above should do.

[ViralBShah]

We should probably add the convenience definitions anyways. Would be great if you can submit a PR.

[cbecker]

@ViralBShah I don't understand, did you see the PR right above my last comment?
It defines median( X, dims )

[ViralBShah]

I don't see it. Perhaps because I an using the github android app which is not the greatest. I will take a look using a browser.

[cbecker]

@ViralBShah in case it helps: #6666
It has a rather unusual PR number ;)

[ViralBShah]

Thanks. Shows in the browser. Did not show in the app. Nice number!

@ViralBShah PR now contains tests + docs, ready to merge.

[ViralBShah]

Thanks, merged now.
