About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

mskmax

Calculate the maximum value of a strided array according to a mask.

Usage

import mskmax from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-mskmax@esm/index.mjs';

mskmax( N, x, strideX, mask, strideMask )

Computes the maximum value of a strided array x according to a mask.

var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 4.0, 2.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 1, 0 ];

var v = mskmax( x.length, x, 1, mask, 1 );
// returns 2.0

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• x: input Array or typed array.
• strideX: index increment for x.
• mask: mask Array or typed array. If a mask array element is 0, the corresponding element in x is considered valid and included in computation. If a mask array element is 1, the corresponding element in x is considered invalid/missing and excluded from computation.
• strideMask: index increment for mask.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the maximum value of every other element in x,

import floor from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-base-special-floor@esm/index.mjs';

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 4.0, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ];
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = mskmax( N, x, 2, mask, 2 );
// returns 4.0

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce offsets, use typed array views.

import Float64Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float64@esm/index.mjs';
import Uint8Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-uint8@esm/index.mjs';
import floor from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-base-special-floor@esm/index.mjs';

var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var mask0 = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ] );
var mask1 = new Uint8Array( mask0.buffer, mask0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

var v = mskmax( N, x1, 2, mask1, 2 );
// returns 4.0

mskmax.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, mask, strideMask, offsetMask )

Computes the maximum value of a strided array according to a mask and using alternative indexing semantics.

var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 4.0, 2.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 1, 0 ];

var v = mskmax.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, mask, 1, 0 );
// returns 2.0

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offsetX: starting index for x.
• offsetMask: starting index for mask.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to calculate the maximum value for every other value in x starting from the second value

import floor from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-base-special-floor@esm/index.mjs';

var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var mask = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ];
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = mskmax.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1, mask, 2, 1 );
// returns 4.0

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return NaN.
• Depending on the environment, the typed versions (dmskmax, smskmax, etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant.
