genefilter (version 1.54.2)

genescale: Scales a matrix or vector.

Description

genescale returns a scaled version of the input matrix m by applying the following formula to each column of the matrix: $$y[i] = ( x[i] - min(x) ) / ( max(x) - min(x) )$$

Usage

genescale(m, axis=2, method=c("Z", "R"), na.rm=TRUE)

Arguments

m

Input a matrix or a vector with numeric elements.

axis

An integer indicating which axis of m to scale.

method

Either "Z" or "R", indicating whether a Z scaling or a range scaling should be performed.

na.rm

A boolean indicating whether NA's should be removed.

Value

• A scaled version of the input. If m is a matrix or a dataframe then the dimensions of the returned value agree with that of m, in both cases the returned value is a matrix.

Details

Either the rows or columns of m are scaled. This is done either by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation ("Z") or by subtracing the minimum and dividing by the range.
