Cumulative Sums, Products, and Extremes
Description
Returns a vector whose elements are the cumulative sums, products, minima or maxima of the elements of the argument.
Usage
cumsum(x)
cumprod(x)
cummax(x)
cummin(x)
Arguments
x |
a numeric or complex (not |
Details
These are generic functions: methods can be defined for them
individually or via the Math group generic.
Value
A vector of the same length and type as x (after coercion),
except that cumprod returns a numeric vector for integer input
(for consistency with *). Names are preserved.
An NA value in x causes the corresponding and following
elements of the return value to be NA, as does integer overflow
in cumsum (with a warning).
S4 methods
cumsum and cumprod are S4 generic functions:
methods can be defined for them individually or via the
Math group generic.
cummax and cummin are individually S4 generic functions.
