Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

sample-quantile

find the sample value(s) for one or many probabilities

IntroductionAPIUtilitiesLicense

var quartiles = sampleQuantile([0,1,2,3,4,5,6], [0.25, 0.5, 0.75]) // [1,3,5]
var minimum = sampleQuantile([2, 4, 6, 8], 0) // 2
var maximum = sampleQuantile([2, 4, 6, 8], 1) // 8
var median = sampleQuantile([1, 2], 0.5) // 1.5
var unsortedMax = = sampleQuantile([3, 1, 2], 1, true) // 3

Introduction

There are a number of npm packages to help derive the quantile or percentile values from a sample set with different assumptions and limitations. This implementation is based on the following:

  • only works with probabilities between and including 0 and 1
  • In-between probabilities are interpolated (R-6 presented here and discussed here)
  • works with single probability to return a single value
  • works with arrays of probabilities to return an array of values
  • samples are not sorted by default to prevent overhead, but can be sorted if specified

API

sampleQuantile(arrayOfSamples, singleOrManyProbabilities[, sortFirst]) // --> singleOrManyValues

  • arrayOfSamples is an array of sorted samples. If unsorted, set the sortFirst flag to true
  • singleOrManyProbabilities single probability number (0 <= x <= 1) or an array of numbers
  • sortFirst optional flag to duplicate and sort the data first. The source of samples remains unchanged

Utilities

When performance is important, the subfunctions for single numbers and for arrays can be called directly to avoid the internal checks:

require('sample-quantile/quantile')(samples, probability) : number require('sample-quantile/quantiles')(samples, probabilities) : Array<number>
