igroupMaxs {Rigroup}R Documentation

calculate maximum for small integer groups

Description

This function allows a user to quickly calculate the maximum for each small integer group of a data vector .

Usage

igroupMaxs(x,i,na.rm=TRUE)

Arguments

x A numeric, integer, or logical data vector
i A small integer vector indicating group membership 1:ngroups
na.rm if TRUE remove NAs before use (defaults to TRUE)

Details

This package provides a fast implementation for calculating maximums for each group in a data vector where a small integer vector (1:number of groups) indicates group membership. na.rm is used to determine how NAs are handled. The return value is a vector with length(number of groups).

Value

igroupMaxs: Returns a vector with length equal to the number of groups.
