dmidrange
Calculate the mid-range of a double-precision floating-point strided array.
The mid-range, or mid-extreme, is the arithmetic mean of the maximum and minimum values in a data set. The measure is the midpoint of the range and a measure of central tendency.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dmidrange
Usage
var dmidrange = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dmidrange' );
dmidrange( N, x, stride )
Computes the mid-range of a double-precision floating-point strided array x
.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var v = dmidrange( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 0.0
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- x: input
Float64Array
. - stride: index increment for
x
.
The N
and stride
parameters determine which elements in x
are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the mid-range of every other element in x
,
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );
var v = dmidrange( N, x, 2 );
// returns 1.0
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array
views.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );
var v = dmidrange( N, x1, 2 );
// returns 1.0
dmidrange.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset )
Computes the mid-range of a double-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var v = dmidrange.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 0.0
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 mid-range for every other value in x
starting from the second value
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );
var v = dmidrange.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 1.0
Notes
- If
N <= 0
, both functions returnNaN
.
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var dmidrange = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dmidrange' );
var x;
var i;
x = new Float64Array( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
x[ i ] = round( (randu()*100.0) - 50.0 );
}
console.log( x );
var v = dmidrange( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( v );
