[R] File normalization

2010-05-25 Thread cobbler_squad
Dear all, I have a file with 57 columns (671 time points in each column) File looks like this: 10.279191 -1.203200e-02 -0.166772 6.12080e-02 0.196379 4.591900e-02 0.293689 20.267017 -1.150700e-02 -0.159463 5.85400e-02 0.187775 4.392200e-02 0.280854 30.053778

What kind of normalization do you want to do? If you want to divide all columns by the median absolute value, try : apply(some_dataset,2,function(x){ x-median(abs(x)) }) also look at ?scale for normalization using the average and the sd. Cheers Joris On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 6:01 PM,

My code substracts the median absolute value. If you want to divide by it, the code must be : apply(some_dataset,2,function( x){ x/median(abs(x)) }) Thanks to Peter Langfelder for pointing out my mistake. On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 6:24 PM, Joris Meys jorism...@gmail.com wrote: What kind
