In MatrixGenerics: S4 Generic Summary Statistic Functions that Operate on Matrix-Like Objects

Description

Calculates the weighted median for each row (column) of a matrix-like object.

Usage

rowWeightedMedians(x, w = NULL, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'matrix_OR_array_OR_table_OR_numeric'
rowWeightedMedians(x, w = NULL, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
rowWeightedMedians(x, w = NULL, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

colWeightedMedians(x, w = NULL, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'matrix_OR_array_OR_table_OR_numeric'
colWeightedMedians(x, w = NULL, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
colWeightedMedians(x, w = NULL, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	An NxK matrix-like object.
w	A numeric vector of length K (N) that specifies by how much each element is weighted.
rows, cols	A vector indicating the subset of rows (and/or columns) to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.
na.rm	If TRUE, NAs are excluded first, otherwise not.
...	Additional arguments passed to specific methods.

Details

The S4 methods for x of type matrix, array, or numeric call matrixStats::rowWeightedMedians / matrixStats::colWeightedMedians.

Value

Returns a numeric vector of length N (K).

See Also

• matrixStats::rowWeightedMedians() and matrixStats::colWeightedMedians() which are used when the input is a matrix or numeric vector.

• See also rowMedians for the corresponding unweighted function.

Examples

  mat <- matrix(rnorm(15), nrow = 5, ncol = 3)
  mat[2, 1] <- NA
  mat[3, 3] <- Inf
  mat[4, 1] <- 0
  
  print(mat)
  w <- rnorm(n = 5, mean = 3)
  rowWeightedMedians(mat, w = w[1:3])
  colWeightedMedians(mat, w = w)
