I thought I might as well get this started. It's very rare for me to look up even a minor piece of mathematics here and not find an article for it. I'd be grateful if someone could provide a step by step example, as I don't currently possess a textbook that covers this topic. --Kazuo Ishiguro 08:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The link to the help page for the R implementation seems to require a U Minn student account. This seems like a bad idea. Surely the help page is accessible through some site that does not require registration.

Adding a graph of procedure?[edit]

It is a clear instruction for procedure of median polish. However adding a graph of an example of preforming a median polish on a simple matrix can be very helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yifan Zh (talk • contribs) 06:26, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! That would certainly be the next step, but I regret to say I lack the technical ability with which I can code in presentable matrices. Hopefully someone can pick it up from here. J whitewolf (talk) 20:57, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Applications?[edit]

This is a good overview of the method. I think it would be helpful though to add in some applications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JulTum (talk • contribs) 20:49, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
