mad() function in R Language is used to compute the median absolute deviation i.e. the (lo-/hi-)median of the absolute deviations from the median.

Syntax: mad(x)

Parameters:
x: Vector

Example 1:

# R Program to calculate
# Median Absolute Deviation

# Creating a vector
x <- c(1:9)

# Calling mad() Function
mad(x)

Output:

[1] 2.9652

Example 2:

# R Program to calculate
# Median Absolute Deviation

# Creating a vector
x <- c(1, 4, 2, 3, 7, 3, 8, 9, 2)

# Calling mad() Function
mad(x)

Output:

[1] 1.4826
