stat.bwss: Between and Within Group Sum of Squares Calculation

Description

This function computes the between and within group sum of squares for each row of a matrix which may have NAs.

Usage

stat.bwss(x, cl)

Arguments

x
a matrix, NAs allowed. In the microarray context, the rows of X could correspond to genes and the columns to different hybridizations.
cl
column labels, must be consecutive integers.

Value

  • List containing the following components
  • wnmatrix with class sizes for each row of X;
  • BWvector of BSS/WSS for each row of X;
  • BSSbetween group sum of squares for each row of X;
  • WSSwithin group sum of squares for each row of X;
  • TSStotal sum of squares for each row of X;
  • tvarvariance for each row of X.
