rowDiffs {matrixStats}

R Documentation

Calculates difference for each row (column) in a matrix

Description

Calculates difference for each row (column) in a matrix.

Usage

rowDiffs(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, lag = 1L, differences = 1L,
  dim. = dim(x), ..., useNames = TRUE)

colDiffs(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, lag = 1L, differences = 1L,
  dim. = dim(x), ..., useNames = TRUE)

Arguments

x	An NxK matrix or, if dim. is specified, an N * K vector.
rows	A vector indicating subset of rows to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.
cols	A vector indicating subset of columns to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.
lag	An integer specifying the lag.
differences	An integer specifying the order of difference.
dim.	An integer vector of length two specifying the dimension of x, also when not a matrix. Comment: The reason for this argument being named with a period at the end is purely technical (we get a run-time error if we try to name it dim).
...	Not used.
useNames	If TRUE (default), names attributes of the result are set, otherwise not.

Value

Returns a numeric Nx(K-1) or (N-1)xK matrix.
