[R] median by geometric mean

[S Ellison]

Will this do?

x <- runif(20, 1, 100)

exp( median( log( x) ) )

Hi All,

I need to calculate the median for even number of data points.However
instead of calculating
the arithmetic mean of the two middle values,I need to calculate their
geometric mean.

Though I can code this in R, possibly in a few lines, but wondering if
there
is
already some built in function.

Can somebody give a hint?

Thanks in advance
