gnansumkbn2

Compute the sum of a one-dimensional ndarray, ignoring NaN values and using a second-order iterative Kahan–Babuška algorithm.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-ndarray-gnansumkbn2

Usage

var gnansumkbn2 = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-ndarray-gnansumkbn2' );

gnansumkbn2( arrays )

Computes the sum of a one-dimensional ndarray, ignoring NaN values and using a second-order iterative Kahan–Babuška algorithm.

var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );

var xbuf = [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ];
var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var v = gnansumkbn2( [ x ] );
// returns 1.0

The function has the following parameters:

• arrays: array-like object containing a one-dimensional input ndarray.

Notes

• If provided an empty one-dimensional ndarray, the function returns 0.0.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var gnansumkbn2 = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-ndarray-gnansumkbn2' );

var xbuf = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, {
    'dtype': 'generic'
});
var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ xbuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
console.log( ndarray2array( x ) );

var v = gnansumkbn2( [ x ] );
console.log( v );
