normalize: Median normalization of 2D matrix by row or by colomn
Description
This function normalizes the 2WR matrix (or any 2D matrix) according to the
species (rows) or to the genes (columns), by dividing each row or each column by its median.
Usage
normalize(mat, what = "none")
Value
A normalized matrix
Arguments
mat
A matrix
what
Character string indicating whether the matrix should be
normalized and how. If what="none", the matrix is not normalized (the
default), if what="species", the matrix is normalized so that the difference
between species is increased, and if what="genes", the matrix is normalized
so that the difference between genes is increased. Normalization consists
in dividing either each row or each columns by its median.
