Re: [R] Scaling rows of a large Matrix::sparseMatrix()

Hello Gerrit, Thanks. Your proposal works in general, but I get memory allocation errors with my actual 57,000 x 14,000 matrix. The fix which I now use is to scale the data before I build the matrix; see below. Cheers, Dirk ## Code Start - library(parallel) rows

Re: [R] Scaling rows of a large Matrix::sparseMatrix()

Hello, Dirk, maybe I'm missing something, but to avoid your for-loop-approach doesn't M <- M/Matrix::rowSums(M) do what you want? Hth -- Gerrit - Dr. Gerrit Eichner Mathematical Institute, Room 212 gerrit

[R] Scaling rows of a large Matrix::sparseMatrix()

Hello R-Users, I'm looking for a way to scale the rows of a sparse matrix M with about 57,000 rows, 14,000 columns, and 238,000 non-zero matrix elements; see example code below. Usually I'd use the base::scale() function (see sample code), but it freezes my computer. The same happens when I try t
