My post explains mean() and nanmean().
My post explains cumsum() and cumprod().
My post explains torch.nan and torch.inf.

median() can get the 0 or more D tensor of one median element or two of the 0D or more D tensors of zero or more median elements and their indices, normally treating zero or more NaNs(Not a Numbers) from the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

median() can be used with torch or a tensor.
The 1st argument(input) with torch or using a tensor(Required-Type:tensor of int or float).
The 2nd argument with torch or the 1st argument with a tensor is dim(Optional-Type:int). *It can get two of the 0D or more D tensors of the zero or more median elements and their indices.
The 3rd argument with torch or the 2nd argument with a tensor is keepdim(Optional-Default:False-Type:bool): *Memos:
- It must be used with dim.
- My post explains keepdim argument.
There is out argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:tuple(tensor, tensor) or list(tensor, tensor): *Memos:
- It must be used with dim.
- out= must be used.
- My post explains out argument.
Normally, the arithmetic operation with a NaN results in a NaN.
The empty 1D or more D input tensor or tensor without dim gets a NaN.
The empty 1D or more D input tensor or tensor with the deepest dim doesn't work to get a NaN.

nanmedian() can get the 0D or more D tensor of one median element or two of the 0D or more D tensors of zero or more median elements and their indices, ignoring zero or more NaNs(Not a Numbers) only if they are with non-NaNs from the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

nanmedian() can be used with torch or a tensor.
The 1st argument(input) with torch or using a tensor(Required-Type:tensor of int or float).
The 2nd argument with torch or the 1st argument with a tensor is dim(Optional-Type:int). *It can get two of the 0D or more D tensors of the zero or more median elements and their indices.
