Some scaling functions for a Filebacked Big Matrix to be used as
the fun.scaling parameter of some functions of this package.
big_scale(center = TRUE, scale = TRUE)A logical value: whether to return means or 0s.
A logical value: whether to return standard deviations or 1s. You can't use scale without using center.
A new function that returns a data.frame of two vectors
"center" and "scale" which are of the length of ind.col.
One could think about less common scalings, such as for example the
"y-aware" scaling which uses the inverse of betas of column-wise linear
regression as scaling. See this post for details.
It would be easy to implement it using big_colstats to get column means
and big_univLinReg to get betas (and then inverse them).
