snanmax

Calculate the maximum value of a single-precision floating-point strided array, ignoring NaN values.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-snanmax

Usage

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

snanmax( N, x, stride )

Computes the maximum value of a single-precision floating-point strided array x, ignoring NaN values.

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

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

var v = snanmax( N, x, 1 );
// returns 2.0

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 maximum value 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, -7.0, -2.0, 4.0, 3.0, NaN, NaN ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = snanmax( N, x, 2 );
// returns 4.0

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

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

var v = snanmax( N, x1, 2 );
// returns 4.0

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

Computes the maximum value of a single-precision floating-point strided array, ignoring NaN values and using 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 = snanmax.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 2.0

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 maximum value 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, 3.0, 4.0, NaN, NaN ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = snanmax.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 4.0

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return NaN.

Examples

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

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