rowMeans2: Calculates the mean for each row (column) in a matrix

In HenrikBengtsson/matrixStats: Functions that Apply to Rows and Columns of Matrices (and to Vectors)

Calculates the mean for each row (column) in a matrix

Description

Calculates the mean for each row (column) in a matrix.

Usage

rowMeans2(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, refine = TRUE,
  dim. = dim(x), ..., useNames = TRUE)

colMeans2(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, refine = TRUE,
  dim. = dim(x), ..., useNames = TRUE)

Arguments

x	An NxK matrix or, if dim. is specified, an N * K vector.
rows	A vector indicating subset of rows to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.
cols	A vector indicating subset of columns to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.
na.rm	If TRUE, missing values are excluded.
refine	If TRUE and x is numeric, then extra effort is used to calculate the average with greater numerical precision, otherwise not.
dim.	An integer vector of length two specifying the dimension of x, also when not a matrix. Comment: The reason for this argument being named with a period at the end is purely technical (we get a run-time error if we try to name it dim).
...	Not used.
useNames	If TRUE (default), names attributes of the result are set, otherwise not.

Details

The implementation of rowMeans2() and colMeans2() is optimized for both speed and memory.

Value

Returns a numeric vector of length N (K).
