Hello, in reply to the recent discussion about the Oja median, I would like to announce that by the end of this year we will make a package available that offers a routine for calculating the Oja median. This routine will have both, an exact computation as well as a randomized search heuristic, which delivers reliable and very fast results at least up to dimension 8.
