isProbabilityArray

Test if a value is an array-like object containing only probabilities.

A probability is defined as a numeric value on the interval [0,1].

Usage

var isProbabilityArray = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-probability-array' );

isProbabilityArray( value )

Tests if a value is an array-like object containing only probabilities.

var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array/uint8' );

var bool = isProbabilityArray( [ 0.6, 0.5, 0.25 ] );
// returns true

bool = isProbabilityArray( [ 0.6, 0.5, new Number( 0.25 ) ] );
// returns true

bool = isProbabilityArray( new Uint8Array( [ 0, 1 ] ) );
// returns true

bool = isProbabilityArray( [ 3.14, 0.0 ] );
// returns false

isProbabilityArray.primitives( value )

Tests if a value is an array-like object array containing only primitive probabilities.

var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' );

var bool = isProbabilityArray.primitives( [ 1.0, 0.0, 0.8 ] );
// returns true

bool = isProbabilityArray.primitives( [ 0.9, new Number(1.0) ] );
// returns false

isProbabilityArray.objects( value )

Tests if a value is an array-like object array containing only Number objects whose values are probabilities.

var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' );

var bool = isProbabilityArray.objects( [ new Number(1.0), new Number(1.0) ] );
// returns true

bool = isProbabilityArray.objects( [ 1.0, 0.0, 0.6 ] );
// returns false

Examples

var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array/uint8' );
var isProbabilityArray = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-probability-array' );

var arr = [ 0.0, 1.0, 0.5 ];
var bool = isProbabilityArray( arr );
// returns true

arr = [ 0.5, 0.25, 0.25 ];
bool = isProbabilityArray( arr );
// returns true

arr = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 ] );
bool = isProbabilityArray( arr );
// returns true

arr = [ 3.14, -1.0 ];
bool = isProbabilityArray( arr );
// returns false

bool = isProbabilityArray( [] );
// returns false

bool = isProbabilityArray( null );
// returns false
