Median Absolute Deviation
Compute the median absolute deviation for a vector, dispatching only
on the first argument, x.
NOTE: This man page is for the mad S4 generic function
defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?stats::mad for the default method
(defined in the stats package).
Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects
not supported by the default method.
mad(x, center = median(x), constant = 1.4826,
na.rm = FALSE, low = FALSE, high = FALSE)x, center, constant, na.rm, low, high |

See ?stats::mad for the value returned by the
default method.
Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages should behave as consistently as possible with the default method.
stats::mad for the default
mad method.
showMethods for displaying a summary of the
methods defined for a given generic function.

a specific method.
