rowIQRs

Estimates of the interquartile range for each row (column) in a matrix

Description

Estimates of the interquartile range for each row (column) in a matrix.

Usage

rowIQRs(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

colIQRs(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

iqr(x, idxs = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

A numeric NxK matrix.
na.rm

If TRUE, missing values are dropped first, otherwise not.
...

Additional arguments passed to rowQuantiles() (colQuantiles()).
idxs, rows, cols

A vector indicating subset of elements (or rows and/or columns) to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.

Value

Returns a numeric vector of length N (K).

Missing values

Contrary to IQR, which gives an error if there are missing values and na.rm = FALSE, iqr() and its corresponding row and column-specific functions return NA_real_.

Examples

set.seed(1)

x <- matrix(rnorm(50 * 40), nrow = 50, ncol = 40)
str(x)

# Row IQRs
q <- rowIQRs(x)
print(q)
q0 <- apply(x, MARGIN = 1, FUN = IQR)
stopifnot(all.equal(q0, q))

# Column IQRs
q <- colIQRs(x)
print(q)
q0 <- apply(x, MARGIN = 2, FUN = IQR)
stopifnot(all.equal(q0, q))
