smean

Compute the arithmetic mean of a one-dimensional single-precision floating-point ndarray.

The arithmetic mean is defined as

Installation

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

Usage

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

smean( arrays )

Computes the arithmetic mean of a one-dimensional single-precision floating-point ndarray.

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

var xbuf = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var x = new ndarray( 'float32', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var v = smean( [ x ] );
// returns 2.5

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

var xbuf = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, {
    'dtype': 'float32'
});
var x = new ndarray( 'float32', xbuf, [ xbuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
console.log( ndarray2array( x ) );

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