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!

mskrange

Calculate the range of a strided array according to a mask.

The range is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-mskrange

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

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

mskrange( N, x, strideX, mask, strideMask )

Computes the range of a strided array x according to a mask.

var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 4.0, 2.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 1, 0 ];

var v = mskrange( x.length, x, 1, mask, 1 );
// returns 4.0

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• x: input Array or typed array.
• strideX: index increment for x.
• mask: mask Array or typed array. If a mask array element is 0, the corresponding element in x is considered valid and included in computation. If a mask array element is 1, the corresponding element in x is considered invalid/missing and excluded from computation.
• strideMask: index increment for mask.

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

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

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 4.0, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ];
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = mskrange( N, x, 2, mask, 2 );
// returns 11.0

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

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var mask0 = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ] );
var mask1 = new Uint8Array( mask0.buffer, mask0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

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

var v = mskrange( N, x1, 2, mask1, 2 );
// returns 6.0

mskrange.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, mask, strideMask, offsetMask )

Computes the range of a strided array according to a mask and using alternative indexing semantics.

var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 4.0, 2.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 1, 0 ];

var v = mskrange.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, mask, 1, 0 );
// returns 4.0

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offsetX: starting index for x.
• offsetMask: starting index for mask.

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 range for every other value in x starting from the second value

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

var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ];
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = mskrange.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1, mask, 2, 1 );
// returns 6.0

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return NaN.
• Depending on the environment, the typed versions (dmskrange, smskrange, etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );
var mskrange = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-mskrange' );

var mask;
var x;
var i;

x = new Float64Array( 10 );
mask = new Uint8Array( x.length );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    if ( randu() < 0.2 ) {
        mask[ i ] = 1;
    } else {
        mask[ i ] = 0;
    }
    x[ i ] = round( (randu()*100.0) - 50.0 );
}
console.log( x );
console.log( mask );

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