maxabs

Compute the maximum absolute value of a one-dimensional ndarray.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-ndarray-maxabs

Usage

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

maxabs( arrays )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a one-dimensional ndarray.

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

var xbuf = [ -1.0, 3.0, -4.0, 2.0 ];
var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var v = maxabs( [ x ] );
// returns 4.0

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 NaN.

Examples

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

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 = maxabs( [ x ] );
console.log( v );

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
