makeprobs {cummeRbund} | R Documentation

## Transform a matrix into probabilities by columns

### Description

This function takes a matrix of expression values (must be greater than 0) and returns a matrix of probabilities by column. This is a required transformation for the Jensen-Shannon distance which is a metric that operates on probabilities.

### Usage

    makeprobs(a)

### Arguments

`a` | A matrix of expression values (values must be greater than 0).

### Details

To make a matrix of probabilities by row, use t() to transpose prior to calling makeprobs.

### Value

A matrix of expression probabilities by column.
