Compute the arithmetic mean (average). This function is implemented in two versions. The function avg is an alias for this function.
Returns the largest absolute value found in the arguments.
- Usage 1
avr(x)- x
- a scalar, vector or matrix
- Result 1
- The result is the arithmetic mean of all elements of x
- Usage 2
avr(x, flag- x
- a matrix
- flag
- selects if the average of column vectors (flag==0) or the row vectors (flag!=0) is requsted; flag must be a scalar
- Result 2
-
- if flag equals 0: the result r is the vector of the column averages
r[i] = eval avr( x[*,i]) // i = 0 .. ncol(x)-1
- otherwise: the result r is the vector of the row averages
r[i] = eval avr( x[i,*]) // i = 0 .. nrow(x)-1
