Maxima and minima

Description

pmax, pmin, pmax.int and pmin.int return the parallel maxima and minima of the input values.

NOTE: This man page is for the pmax, pmin, pmax.int and pmin.int S4 generic functions defined in the BiocGenerics package. See ?base::pmax for the default methods (defined in the base package). Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects (typically vector-like or matrix-like) not supported by the default methods.

Usage

pmax(..., na.rm=FALSE)
pmin(..., na.rm=FALSE)
     
pmax.int(..., na.rm=FALSE)
pmin.int(..., na.rm=FALSE)

Arguments

...

One or more vector-like or matrix-like R objects.

na.rm

See ?base::pmax for a description of this argument.

Value

See ?base::pmax for the value returned by the default methods.

Specific methods defined in other Bioconductor packages will typically return an object of the same class as the input objects.

See Also

base::pmax for the default pmax, pmin, pmax.int and pmin.int methods.

selectMethod for getting the definition of a specific method.
