These functions are all for use with attributes in collections. For example, with a collection People and an attribute height, mean(
height)
might be 67 inches. But mean(12)
results in an evaluation error.
All of these functions have an optional final argument that is a filter specifying on which cases the function should act. For example, mean(
height, Sex="male")
returns the mean height of the males in the collection.
