imcombine - sigma image with median stack

Adam Stanford wrote on Nov 05, 2008

How is the sigma image calculated when you median combine a stack of
images with imcombine?

The sigma image is always the the reduced RMS (root mean square corrected for a finite population by using N-1) of all non-rejected values about the output value at each pixel. So for a median the RMS is about the median value.
