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!

sminsorted

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Calculate the minimum value of a sorted single-precision floating-point strided array.

Usage

import sminsorted from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-sminsorted@esm/index.mjs';

sminsorted( N, x, stride )

Computes the minimum value of a sorted single-precision floating-point strided array x.

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@esm/index.mjs';

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = sminsorted( N, x, 1 );
// returns 1.0

x = new Float32Array( [ 3.0, 2.0, 1.0 ] );
N = x.length;

v = sminsorted( N, x, 1 );
// returns 1.0

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • x: sorted 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 minimum value of every other element in x,

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@esm/index.mjs';
import floor from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-base-special-floor@esm/index.mjs';

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

var v = sminsorted( N, x, 2 );
// returns 1.0

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

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@esm/index.mjs';
import floor from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-base-special-floor@esm/index.mjs';

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

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

var v = sminsorted( N, x1, 2 );
// returns 1.0

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

Computes the minimum value of a sorted single-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@esm/index.mjs';

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = sminsorted.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 1.0

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

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@esm/index.mjs';
import floor from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-base-special-floor@esm/index.mjs';

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

var v = sminsorted.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 1.0

Notes

  • If N <= 0, both functions return NaN.
  • The input strided array must be sorted in either strictly ascending or descending order.
