Imagine you're working with a numeric vector in R that contains outliers. How would you handle the outliers when calculating the median?

  • It depends on the specific analysis and goals. Outliers can be removed, winsorized, or analyzed separately
  • Exclude the outliers from the vector before calculating the median
  • Replace the outliers with the median of the remaining values
  • All of the above
When calculating the median in R, outliers can be handled by excluding them from the vector before calculating the median. Excluding outliers ensures that they do not impact the median calculation. The choice of approach for handling outliers depends on the specific analysis goals and the nature of the outliers.
