snansumkbn

Compute the sum of a one-dimensional single-precision floating-point ndarray, ignoring NaN values and using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm.

Installation

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

Usage

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

snansumkbn( arrays )

Computes the sum of a one-dimensional single-precision floating-point ndarray, ignoring NaN values and using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm.

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

var xbuf = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );
var x = new ndarray( 'float32', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var v = snansumkbn( [ 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 bernoulli = require( '@stdlib/random-base-bernoulli' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var snansumkbn = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-ndarray-snansumkbn' );

function clbk() {
    if ( bernoulli( 0.7 ) > 0 ) {
        return discreteUniform( 0, 100 );
    }
    return NaN;
}

var xbuf = filledarrayBy( 10, 'float32', clbk );
var x = new ndarray( 'float32', xbuf, [ xbuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
console.log( ndarray2array( x ) );

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