def mean
  ary = self.to_a.compact
  if defined?(NMatrix) # Prefer the C version.
    ary.to_nm.mean[0]
  else                 # Fall back to Ruby.
    ary.inject(0) { |x,i| x + i } / ary.size.to_f
  end
end

#median ⇒ Object

def median
  ary = self.to_a.compact.sort.uniq
  return nil if ary.empty?
  if ary.size % 2 == 1 # Even number of entries
    ary[(ary.size-1) / 2]
  else            # Odd number of entries
    idx = (ary.size-1) / 2
    (ary[idx] + ary[idx+1]) / 2.0
  end
end

#modes ⇒ Object

Note: Not guaranteed to be the fastest way to find the modes, but I didn’t see this function as a bottleneck worth a ton of effort. –JW
