.summarizeCols {wrMisc}

Summarize columns of matrix (or data.frame) 'x' using apply (main)

Description

This function summarizes columns of matrix (or data.frame) 'x' using apply In case of character entries the 'median' of sorted values will be returned

Usage

.summarizeCols(
  x,
  me = c("median", "medianComplete", "mean", "meanComplete", "aver", "average", "min",
    "max", "maxOfRef", "minOfRef", "maxAbsOfRef", "lastLi", "last", "firstComplete",
    "first", "firstLi", "summary"),
  nEq = FALSE,
  vectAs1row = TRUE,
  silent = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

x

data.frame matrix of data to be summarized by comlumn

me

(character, length=1) summarization method (eg 'min','max','mean','median', 'medianComplete' or 'meanComplete')

nEq

(logical) if TRUE, add additional column indicating the number of equal lines for choice (only with min or max)

vectAs1row

(logical) if TRUE will interprete non-matrix 'x' as matrix with 1 row (correct effect of automatic conversion when extracting 1 line)

silent

(logical) suppress messages

debug

(logical) additional messages for debugging

callFrom

(character) allow easier tracking of messages produced

Value

vector with summary for each column (unless 'me=="summary"', in this case a matrix or list will be returned )

Examples

m1 <- matrix(c(28,27,11,12,11,12), nrow=2, dimnames=list(1:2,c("y","x","ref")))
