So the matrix you thought was numeric is actually a character-object. The median function returns NA for character arguments. I'm seeing spaces in front of the decimal numbers so appears your input statements need to be somehow adjusted, or you need to coerce the matrix to numeric. The colClasses argument to read.table and cousins should be used more often.
