\title{Calculates the mean for each row (column) of a matrix-like object}
\usage{
\S4method{colMeans2}{dgCMatrix}(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE)

\S4method{rowMeans2}{dgCMatrix}(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{An NxK matrix-like object.}

\item{rows}{A \code{\link{vector}} indicating the subset of rows
(and/or columns) to operate over. If \code{\link{NULL}}, no subsetting is
done.}

\item{cols}{A \code{\link{vector}} indicating the subset of rows
(and/or columns) to operate over. If \code{\link{NULL}}, no subsetting is
done.}

\item{na.rm}{If \code{\link[base:logical]{TRUE}}, \code{\link{NA}}s
are excluded first, otherwise not.}
}
\value{
Returns a \code{\link{numeric}} \code{\link{vector}} of length N (K).
}
\description{
Calculates the mean for each row (column) of a matrix-like object.

The S4 methods for \code{x} of type \code{\link{matrix}},
\code{\link{array}}, or \code{\link{numeric}} call
