The geometric mean is the nth root of n products or e to the mean log of x.
Usage
geometricMean(x, ...)
# S4 method for class 'sparseMatrix'
geometricMean(x, MARGIN = 2L)
Arguments
- x
Object.
- MARGIN
integer(1-2).
Dimension where the function will be applied.
For a two-dimensional matrix:
1 indicates rows;
2 indicates columns;
c(1, 2) indicates rows and columns.
- ...
Additional arguments.
Details
Useful for describing non-normal (i.e. geometric) distributions.
