ma3x3 {limma} | R Documentation

## Two dimensional Moving Averages with 3x3 Window

### Description

Apply a specified function to each to each value of a matrix and its immediate neighbors.

### Usage

    ma3x3.matrix(x,FUN=mean,na.rm=TRUE,...)
    ma3x3.spottedarray(x,printer,FUN=mean,na.rm=TRUE,...)

### Arguments

`x` | numeric matrix
`FUN` | function to apply to each window of values
`na.rm` | logical value, should missing values be removed when applying `FUN`
`...` | other arguments are passed to `FUN`
`printer` | list giving the printer layout, see `PrintLayout-class`

### Details

For `ma3x3.matrix`, `x` is an arbitrary function. for `ma3x3.spotted`, each column of `x` is assumed to contain the expression values of a spotted array in standard order. The printer layout information is used to re-arrange the values of each column as a spatial matrix before applying `ma3x3.matrix`.

### Value

Numeric matrix of same dimension as `x` containing smoothed values

    ma3x3.matrix(x,FUN="min")
