Safe version of median

Source: R/safe.R

safe_median() works stats::median() but warns if some elements of ... are never used.

safe_median(x, ...)

# S3 method for numeric
safe_median(x, ..., na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector
...

Additional arguments passed on to methods.
na.rm

For numeric method, should missing values be removed?

Examples

x <- c(1:10, NA)
safe_median(x, na.rm = TRUE)

#> [1] 5.5
median(x, na.rm = TRUE)

#> [1] 5.5

try(median(x, na.mr = TRUE))

#> [1] NA
try(safe_median(x, na.mr = TRUE))

#> Error : 1 components of `...` were not used.
#> 
#> We detected these problematic arguments:
#> * `na.mr`
#> 
#> Did you misspecify an argument?

try(median(1, 2, 3))

#> [1] 1
try(safe_median(1, 2, 3))

#> Error : 2 components of `...` were not used.
#> 
#> We detected these problematic arguments:
#> * `..1`
#> * `..2`
