Accurately computes the logarithm of the sum of exponentials across rows or columns

Source: R/rowLogSumExps.R

Accurately computes the logarithm of the sum of exponentials across rows or columns.

rowLogSumExps(lx, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE,
  dim. = dim(lx), ..., useNames = TRUE)

colLogSumExps(lx, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE,
  dim. = dim(lx), ..., useNames = TRUE)

Arguments

lx

A numeric NxK matrix. Typically lx are \(log(x)\) values.

rows, cols

A vector indicating subset of rows (and/or columns) to operate over. If NULL, no subsetting is done.

na.rm

If TRUE, any missing values are ignored, otherwise not.

dim.

An integer vector of length two specifying the dimension of x, also when not a matrix.

...

Not used.

useNames

If TRUE (default), names attributes of the result are set, otherwise not.

Value

A numeric vector of length N (K).

Benchmarking

These methods are implemented in native code and have been optimized for speed and memory.
