Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, πŸ‘‹, I’m Ryan HefnerΒ  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you πŸ™

Readme

πŸ“¦ std_hlpr

πŸ“Š std_hlpr is a simple JavaScript utility package that provides basic statistical functions, such as:

  • Mean (average)
  • Standard Deviation
  • Z-score (standard score)
  • Min-Max Normalization

This package is useful for numeric data preprocessing, such as when you want to normalize data before:

  • Statistical analysis
  • Data visualization
  • Simple machine learning processing on the frontend (e.g., React app or analytics dashboard)

πŸš€ Features

  • βœ… Calculate mean (average)
  • βœ… Calculate standard deviation
  • βœ… Calculate z-score for a single value or an entire array
  • βœ… Perform Min-Max normalization to scale values from 0 β†’ 1
  • βœ… Lightweight and dependency-free

πŸ”§ Installation

npm install std-hlpr

πŸ“ Usage Example

// src/App.js (or another file)
import {
  mean_s,
  std_dev,
  z_score_unit,
  z_score_array,
  std_min_max_array
} from './utils/std_hlpr';

const data = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];

// Calculate mean
const mean = mean_s(data); 
// -> 30

// Calculate standard deviation
const std = std_dev(data, mean); 
// -> 14.142...

// Calculate z-score for a single value
const zSingle = z_score_unit(20, mean, std); 
// -> -0.707...

// Calculate z-scores for all elements in array
const zAll = z_score_array(data);
/* ->
{
  10: -1.414,
  20: -0.707,
  30: 0,
  40: 0.707,
  50: 1.414
}
*/

// Perform Min-Max normalization
const norm = std_min_max_array(data);
/* ->
{
  10: 0,
  20: 0.25,
  30: 0.5,
  40: 0.75,
  50: 1
}
*/

πŸ“˜ API Reference

mean_s(array)

Calculates the mean of a numeric array.

  • Parameter:
    array: number[]
  • Return:
    number (mean)

std_dev(array, mean)

Calculates the standard deviation of a numeric array.

  • Parameter:
    array: number[]
    mean: number (mean of the array, optional for efficiency)
  • Return:
    number (standard deviation)

z_score_unit(x, mean, std)

Calculates the z-score of a single value.

  • Parameter:
    x: number (value to calculate)
    mean: number (dataset mean)
    std: number (dataset standard deviation)
  • Return:
    number (z-score)

z_score_array(array)

Calculates z-scores for all elements of an array.

  • Parameter:
    array: number[]
  • Return:
    Record<number, number> (object with original value as key and z-score as value)

std_min_max_array(array)

Performs Min-Max normalization to scale values between 0 β†’ 1.

  • Parameter:
    array: number[]
  • Return:
    Record<number, number> (object with original value as key and normalized value as value)
