Return an array obtained from an input array by sweeping out a summary statistic.
sweep(x, MARGIN, STATS, FUN = "-", check.margin = TRUE, …)an array.
a vector of indices giving the extent(s) of x
which correspond to STATS.
the summary statistic which is to be swept out.
the function to be used to carry out the sweep.
logical. If TRUE (the default), warn if the
length or dimensions of STATS do not match the specified
dimensions of x. Set to FALSE for a small speed gain
when you know that dimensions match.
optional arguments to FUN.
An array with the same shape as x, but with the summary
statistics swept out.
FUN is found by a call to match.fun. As in the
default, binary operators can be supplied if quoted or backquoted.
FUN should be a function of two arguments: it will be called
with arguments x and an array of the same dimensions generated
from STATS by aperm.
The consistency check among STATS, MARGIN and x
is stricter if STATS is an array than if it is a vector.
In the vector case, some kinds of recycling are allowed without a
warning. Use sweep(x, MARGIN, as.array(STATS)) if STATS
is a vector and you want to be warned if any recycling occurs.

apply on which sweep used to be based;
scale for centering and scaling.
# NOT RUN {
require(stats) # for median
med.att <- apply(attitude, 2, median)
sweep(data.matrix(attitude), 2, med.att) # subtract the column medians
## More sweeping:
A <- array(1:24, dim = 4:2)
## no warnings in normal use
sweep(A, 1, 5)
(A.min <- apply(A, 1, min)) # == 1:4
sweep(A, 1, A.min)
sweep(A, 1:2, apply(A, 1:2, median))
## warnings when mismatch
sweep(A, 1, 1:3) # STATS does not recycle
sweep(A, 1, 6:1) # STATS is longer
## exact recycling:
sweep(A, 1, 1:2) # no warning
sweep(A, 1, as.array(1:2)) # warning
# }
