Arithmetic Mean
Generic function for the (trimmed) arithmetic mean.
NOTE: This man page is for the mean S4 generic function
defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?base::mean for the default method
(defined in the base package).
Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects
(typically vector-like) not supported by the default method.

See ?base::mean for the value returned by the
default method.
Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages will typically return an object of the same class as the input object.
base::mean for the default mean method.
