SimSum function

Summarize Arrays

The function calculates summary statistics from arbitrary arrays.

SimSum(
  x,
  min.max = FALSE,
  n.sim = FALSE,
  probs = c(0.025, 0.5, 0.975),
  margin = ifelse(is.null(dim(x) | length(dim(x)) == 1), 2, length(dim(x)))
)

Arguments

• x: Object to summarize which can be a numerical vector, matrix or a multi-dimensional array
• min.max: Enables to include minimum and maximum in the output.
• n.sim: Enables to include the number of observations in the output.
• probs: Quantiles to output.
• margin: Margin of the input array over which the summary function is applied.

Details

The function calculates by default the mean, standard deviation and the specified qantiles which are by default the median and the 95

If a mulit-dimensional array is specified as x, then the function will by default calculate the summaries over the margin of the largest dimension. For the case of a vector and a matrix, the function will transpose the results for better readabiliy.
