BiocGenerics (version 0.18.0)

Extremes: 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 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 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.

• showMethods for displaying a summary of the methods defined for a given generic function.

• selectMethod for getting the definition of a specific method.

• pmax,Rle-method in the S4Vectors package for an example of a specific pmax method (defined for Rle objects).

Examples

pmax
showMethods("pmax")
selectMethod("pmax", "ANY")  # the default method

pmin
showMethods("pmin")
selectMethod("pmin", "ANY")  # the default method

pmax.int
showMethods("pmax.int")
selectMethod("pmax.int", "ANY")  # the default method

pmin.int
showMethods("pmin.int")
selectMethod("pmin.int", "ANY")  # the default method
