center
s = center(x) s = center(x, orientation)
real or complex vector or matrix
index of the dimension along which the center is computed. It can be either
"*"
(default), "r"
or
"c"
real or complex scalar or vector
This function computes s
, the centred version of
the numerical matrix x
.
For a vector or a matrix x
, s = center(x)
or
s = center(x, "*")
returns in the (i,j)
coefficient of
the matrix s
the value (x(i,j)-xbar)
, where
xbar
is the mean of the values of the coefficients of x
.
s = center(x, 'r')
(or, equivalently,
s = center(x, 1)
) is the rowwise center reduction of the
values of x
. It returns in the entry s(i,j)
the value x(i,j)-xbarv(j)
with xbarv(j)
the mean of the values of the j
column.
s = center(x, 'c')
(or, equivalently,
s = center(x, 2)
) is the columnwise center reduction of
the values of x
. It returns in the entry
s(i,j)
the value x(i,j)-xbarh(i)
with
xbarh(i)
the mean of the values of the i
row.
