In const-ae/sparseMatrixStats: Summary Statistics for Rows and Columns of Sparse Matrices

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

Description

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

Usage

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

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

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, missing values (NA or NaN) are omitted from the calculations.
useNames	If TRUE (default), names attributes of result are set. Else if FALSE, no naming support is done.

Details

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

Value

Returns a numeric vector of length N (K).

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)
