nanminabs

Compute the minimum absolute value of a one-dimensional ndarray, ignoring NaN values.

Installation

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

Usage

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

nanminabs( arrays )

Computes the minimum absolute value of a one-dimensional ndarray, ignoring NaN values.

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 = nanminabs( [ 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 NaN.

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-uniform' );
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var bernoulli = require( '@stdlib/random-base-bernoulli' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var nanminabs = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-ndarray-nanminabs' );

function rand() {
    if ( bernoulli( 0.8 ) < 1 ) {
        return NaN;
    }
    return uniform( -50.0, 50.0 );
}

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

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