We are glad to announce recent CRAN releases of matrixStats with support for handling and returning name attributes. This feature is added to make matrixStats functions handle names in the same manner as the corresponding base R functions. In particular, the behavior of matrixStats functions is now the same as the apply() function in R, resolving previous lack of, or inconsistent, handling of row and column names.
We are pleased to announce our proposal ‘Subsetted and parallel computations in matrixStats’ for Google Summer of Code. The project is aimed for a student with experience in R and C, it runs for three months, and the student gets paid 5500 USD by Google. Students from (almost) all over the world can apply. Application deadline is March 27, 2015. I, Henrik Bengtsson, and Héctor Corrada Bravo will be joint mentors.
