You are an expert in writing code in many different languages. Your goal is to perform code completion for the following code, keeping in mind the rest of the code and the file meta data.
    Metadata details:
    filename: hl.m
    path of file: ./repos/bspm/thirdparty/corr_toolbox_v2/LIBRA
    
    the code of the file until where you have to start completion: function result=hl(x)

%HL computes the Hodges-Lehmann location estimate on the columns of x.
% The Hodges-Lehmann estimator is defined as 
%           hl(x)=med {(x_i + x_j)/2} with 1<=i<j<=n 
% It can resist about 29% outliers.
% If x is a matrix, the location estimate is computed on the columns of x. The
% result is then a row vector. If x is a row or a column vector,
% the output is a scalar.
%
% The behavior of the HL estimator in small samples is discussed in:
%   Rousseeuw, P.J. and Verboven, S. (2002),
%   "Robust estimation in very small samples",
