rowGrpMeans: rowMeans with destinction of groups (of columns, eg groups of replicates)
Description
rowGrpMeans calculates column-means for matrix with multiple groups of data, ie similar to rowMeans but one mean for each group of data.
Groups are specified as columns of 'x' in 'grp' (so length of grp should match number of columns of 'x', NAs are allowed).
Usage
rowGrpMeans(x, grp, na.rm = TRUE)
Value
matrix with mean values
Arguments
x
matrix or data.frame
grp
(character or factor) defining which columns should be grouped (considered as replicates)
na.rm
(logical) a logical value indicating whether NA-values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
