colMads-dgCMatrix-method: Calculates the median absolute deviation for each row...

In sparseMatrixStats: Summary Statistics for Rows and Columns of Sparse Matrices

Description

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

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'dgCMatrix'
colMads(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, constant = 1.4826, na.rm = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'dgCMatrix'
rowMads(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, constant = 1.4826, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x	An NxK matrix-like object.
rows	A vector indicating the subset of rows (and/or columns) to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.
cols	A vector indicating the subset of rows (and/or columns) to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.
constant	A scale factor. See stats::mad() for details.
na.rm	If TRUE, NAs are excluded first, otherwise not.

Details

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

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)
  
  rowMads(mat)
  colMads(mat)
