The output of a part of my scripts can be a list of list (e.g ccmppp1) or a list (e.g ccmppp2). I am using the following script to find the Root mean square of the nested list which is applied on the last element of each sublist and it worked well.
RootMeanSquare /@ (#[[All, -1]] & /@ ccmppp1)
However, when my output is a list (e.g ccmppp2) the above script gives the wrong output. Considering that I do not know if my output is a list or list of list which command should I use that works for both. Or should I use the If function which I prefer not to use?
