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 🙏

v0.1.1

Published

Compute the residual sum of squares of two double-precision floating-point strided arrays using Blue's algorithm.

Readme

drssbl

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Calculate the residual sum of squares of two double-precision floating-point strided arrays using Blue's algorithm.

The residual sum of squares (also referred to as the sum of squared residuals (SSR) and the sum of squared errors (SSE)) is defined as

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-drssbl

Usage

var drssbl = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-drssbl' );

drssbl( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Computes the residual sum of squares of two double-precision floating-point strided arrays using Blue's algorithm.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, -4.0 ] );

var z = drssbl( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// returns 45.0

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • x: first input Float64Array.
  • strideX: stride length for x.
  • y: second input Float64Array.
  • strideY: stride length for y.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the residual sum of squares of every other element in x and y

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );

var z = drssbl( 4, x, 2, y, 2 );
// returns 2.0

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

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 8.0, -2.0, 3.0, -2.0, 7.0, -2.0, 0.0, -1.0 ] );

var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var z = drssbl( 4, x1, 2, y1, 2 );
// returns 50.0

drssbl.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Computes the residual sum of squares of two double-precision floating-point strided arrays using Blue's algorithm and alternative indexing semantics.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, -4.0 ] );

var z = drssbl.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// returns 45.0

The function has the following additional parameters:

  • offsetX: starting index for x.
  • offsetY: starting index for y.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to calculate the residual sum of squares for every other element in x and y starting from the second element

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 8.0, -2.0, 3.0, -2.0, 7.0, -2.0, 0.0, -1.0, 4.0 ] );

var z = drssbl.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1, y, 2, 1 );
// returns 50.0

Notes

  • If N <= 0, both functions return 0.0.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var drssbl = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-drssbl' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var x = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, opts );
console.log( x );

var y = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, opts );
console.log( y );

var d = drssbl( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
console.log( d );
