MatrixGenerics
Bioc currentS4 Generic Summary Statistic Functions that Operate on Matrix-Like Objects
Release Lineage
Entered 3.11 · Apr 28, 2020
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
S4 generic functions modeled after the 'matrixStats' API for alternative matrix implementations. Packages with alternative matrix implementation can depend on this package and implement the generic functions that are defined here for a useful set of row and column summary statistics. Other package developers can import this package and handle a different matrix implementations without worrying about incompatibilities.
