colMedians: Column medians

In lcomm/ltools: Helper Functions

Description

Function to calculate the column-wise medians of a matrix of data frame (like a somewhat-simplified median analog to colMeans). Useful for calculating posterior medians in Bayesian statistics.

Usage

colMedians(colMedians.object, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

colMedians.object	Object for which we wish to calculate column medians
na.rm	Should NAs be excluded? Defaults to FALSE

Examples

## Compute medians for a matrix
my.matrix = matrix(1:15,3,5)
colMedians(my.matrix)
## Computer medians for a data frame
my.df = as.data.frame(my.matrix)
colMedians(my.df)
