For consistency with rowSums colSums rowMeans etc., the names should be
colMins colMaxs
rowMins rowMaxs
This is also consistent with S+.
FYI, the rowSums naming convention was chosen to avoid conflict
with rowsum (which computes column sums!).

In S+ we chose to just append the 's' instead of making
everyone worry about the vagarities of English spelling
and pluralization rules. We also have 'groupAnys' and
'igroupAnys' (and should have {row,col}Anys, but we

Hi Henrik,
It would be nice if functions of the matrixStats package can handle array
data.
For example, rowSums() of the base package sums along the third axis of an
array by rowSums(x, dim=2).
That is a
