Arguments

...	Numeric vectors or a single data.frame.

Examples

# Attach packages
library(rearrr)
library(dplyr)

# Set seed
set.seed(1)

# Create three vectors
x <- runif(10)
y <- runif(10)
z <- runif(10)

# Find centroid coordinates
# Aka. the means of each vector
centroid(x, y, z)

#
# For data.frames
#

# Create data frame
df <- data.frame(
  "x" = x,
  "y" = y,
  "z" = z,
  "g" = rep(1:2, each = 5)
)

# Find centroid coordinates
# Aka. the means of each column
centroid(df, cols = c("x", "y", "z"))

# When 'df' is grouped
df %>%
  dplyr::group_by(g) %>%
  centroid(cols = c("x", "y", "z"))
