incrmhmean
Compute a moving harmonic mean incrementally.
The harmonic mean of positive real numbers x_0, x_1, ..., x_{n-1}
is defined as
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-incr-mhmean
Usage
var incrmhmean = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-mhmean' );
incrmhmean( window )
Returns an accumulator function
which incrementally computes a moving harmonic mean. The window
parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving harmonic mean.
var accumulator = incrmhmean( 3 );
accumulator( [x] )
If provided an input value x
, the accumulator function returns an updated harmonic mean. If not provided an input value x
, the accumulator function returns the current harmonic-mean.
var accumulator = incrmhmean( 3 );
var v = accumulator();
// returns null
// Fill the window...
v = accumulator( 2.0 ); // [2.0]
// returns 2.0
v = accumulator( 1.0 ); // [2.0, 1.0]
// returns ~1.33
v = accumulator( 3.0 ); // [2.0, 1.0, 3.0]
// returns ~1.64
// Window begins sliding...
v = accumulator( 7.0 ); // [1.0, 3.0, 7.0]
// returns ~2.03
v = accumulator( 5.0 ); // [3.0, 7.0, 5.0]
// returns ~4.44
v = accumulator();
// returns ~4.44
Notes
- Input values are not type checked. If provided
NaN
or a value which, when used in computations, results inNaN
, the accumulated value isNaN
for at leastW-1
future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly before passing the value to the accumulator function. - As
W
values are needed to fill the window buffer, the firstW-1
returned values are calculated from smaller sample sizes. Until the window is full, each returned value is calculated from all provided values.
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var incrmhmean = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-mhmean' );
var accumulator;
var v;
var i;
// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrmhmean( 5 );
// For each simulated datum, update the moving harmonic mean...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
v = randu() * 100.0;
accumulator( v );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
