Metric Median

Compute the Median Value of a Signal and store the value as a metric

In the following example, compute the Median Value of the signal HANDSPEED

/GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV=

Metric_Median
/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=	_MEDIAN	The type of signal created
/APPLY_AS_SUFFIX_TO_SIGNAL_NAME=	True	Specify the metric name to be the ORIGINAL signal plus a SUFFIX
/RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=	PROCESSED
/SIGNAL_TYPES=	DERIVED
/SIGNAL_NAMES=	HANDSPEED	Specify the Signal to be used
/SIGNAL_FOLDER=	PROCESSED
/SIGNAL_COMPONENTS=	ALL_COMPONENTS	Specify the Signal components to be used (e.g. X, Y, Z or 0, 1, 2 etc)
/EVENT_SEQUENCE=	FRAME1 + GO	Specify the sequence of Events. Any number of Events can be entered (separated by +). This specific sequence of events must be true for a metric to be computed. The metric is computed from the first event in the sequence to the last event in the sequence
/EXCLUDE_EVENTS=	MAX_SPEED	If this event occurs before the first and last event, do not compute a metric
/SEQUENCE_PERCENT_START=	Within the event sequence specify the beginning of the range as a percent
/SEQUENCE_PERCENT_END=	Within the event sequence specify the end of the range as a percent
TRUE	Generate the mean and standard deviation of this metric across ranges and files
/APPEND_TO_EXISTING_VALUES==	FALSE	Do not Add these metric values to an existing metric

NOTE: When you run a metric command, and tell it to create a global mean, it uses all the individual ranges to compute the overall mean (ie; one trial has 4 ranges, second trial has 1 range, the global mean is generated from the 5 values).

If you want each trial to have a median, and then create a median of those medians, you need to run a second command for metric median on the result of the first commands _median. (ie; One trial has 4 ranges, second trial has 1 range. The command will create a median in each trial containing an overall median for the trial, the global median would be the median of the medians).
