Dear James

Thank you. What would the saved time be (e.g. compared to the overall runtime 
of arrayQualityMetrics)? I would be surprised if the saving was worth the added 
complexity, but am always happy to be surprised.

I believe so but maybe I'm missing something.
Here are the system times on a 20000*100 on my laptop using just dist2, which would also have a consequence on the overall runtime of arrayQualityMetrics in aqm.heamap.


dist2 <- function (x,
                   fun = function(a, b) mean(abs(a - b), na.rm = TRUE),
                   diagonal = 0) {

    defaultFun <- ifelse(missing(fun), TRUE, FALSE)

    if (!(is.numeric(diagonal) && (length(diagonal) == 1L)))
        stop("'diagonal' must be a numeric scalar.")
    res = matrix(diagonal, ncol = ncol(x), nrow = ncol(x))
    colnames(res) = rownames(res) = colnames(x)
    if (ncol(x) >= 2) {

        if (defaultFun) {
res <- apply(x, 2, function(i) colMeans(abs(x - i), na.rm=TRUE))
        } else {
            for (j in 2:ncol(x))
                for (i in 1:(j - 1))
                    res[i, j] = res[j, i] = fun(x[, i], x[, j])
        }
    }

    return(res)
}

y <- matrix(rnorm(20000 * 100), 20000, 100)

system.time(dist2(x = y, fun = function(a, b) mean(abs(a - b), na.rm=TRUE)))
##   user  system elapsed
## 11.664   0.060  11.800

system.time(dist2(x = y))
##  user  system elapsed
## 5.201   0.348   5.600

Not sure what you'd want to change to the Rd.

Best,
James.


A patch of the .R and .Rd file would be most welcome and expedite the change.

Btw, colSums apparently also works with 3-dim arrays, so both loops (over i and 
j) could be vectorised, however afaIcs at the cost of constructing an object of 
size nrow(x)^3 in memory, which might again break performance.

        Best wishes
        Wolfgang

Dear bioc-devel,

the dist2 function in genefilter defined as:

dist2 <- function (x, fun = function(a, b) mean(abs(a - b), na.rm = TRUE), 
diagonal = 0) {

    if (!(is.numeric(diagonal) && (length(diagonal) == 1L)))
        stop("'diagonal' must be a numeric scalar.")
    res = matrix(diagonal, ncol = ncol(x), nrow = ncol(x))
    colnames(res) = rownames(res) = colnames(x)
    if (ncol(x) >= 2) {
        for (j in 2:ncol(x)) for (i in 1:(j - 1)) res[i, j] = res[j,
            i] = fun(x[, i], x[, j])
    }
    return(res)
}

could have it's default function vectorized as:

res <- apply(x, 2, function(i) colMeans(abs(x - i), na.rm=TRUE))

to improve performance for example in the ArrayQualityMetrics package.

Best.
James.
