About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

sdsnanmeanors

Calculate the arithmetic mean of a single-precision floating-point strided array, ignoring NaN values and using ordinary recursive summation with extended accumulation.

The arithmetic mean is defined as

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-sdsnanmeanors

Usage

var sdsnanmeanors = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-sdsnanmeanors' );

sdsnanmeanors( N, x, stride )

Computes the arithmetic mean of a single-precision floating-point strided array x, ignoring NaN values and using ordinary recursive summation with extended accumulation.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = sdsnanmeanors( N, x, 1 );
// returns ~0.3333

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• x: input Float32Array.
• stride: index increment for x.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in x are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the arithmetic mean of every other element in x,

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0, NaN ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = sdsnanmeanors( N, x, 2 );
// returns 1.25

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, NaN ] );
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

var v = sdsnanmeanors( N, x1, 2 );
// returns 1.25

sdsnanmeanors.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset )

Computes the arithmetic mean of a single-precision floating-point strided array, ignoring NaN values and using ordinary recursive summation with extended accumulation and alternative indexing semantics.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = sdsnanmeanors.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0 );
// returns ~0.33333

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offset: starting index for x.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to calculate the arithmetic mean for every other value in x starting from the second value

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, NaN ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = sdsnanmeanors.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 1.25

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return NaN.
• If every indexed element is NaN, both functions return NaN.
• Accumulated intermediate values are stored as double-precision floating-point numbers.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var sdsnanmeanors = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-sdsnanmeanors' );

var x;
var i;

x = new Float32Array( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    if ( randu() < 0.2 ) {
        x[ i ] = NaN;
    } else {
        x[ i ] = round( (randu()*100.0) - 50.0 );
    }
}
console.log( x );

var v = sdsnanmeanors( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( v );
