smaxabs

Calculate the maximum absolute value of a single-precision floating-point strided array.

Usage

var smaxabs = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/smaxabs' );

smaxabs( N, x, strideX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a single-precision floating-point strided array x.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );

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

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • x: input Float32Array.
  • strideX: stride length.

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

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );

var v = smaxabs( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 4.0

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

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var v = smaxabs( 4, x1, 2 );
// returns 4.0

smaxabs.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a single-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );

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

The function has the following additional parameters:

  • offsetX: starting index for x.

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 absolute value for every other element in x starting from the second element

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );

var v = smaxabs.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 4.0

Notes

  • If N <= 0, both functions return NaN.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/discrete-uniform' );

var smaxabs = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/smaxabs' );

var x = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, {
    'dtype': 'float32'
});
console.log( x );

var v = smaxabs( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( v );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/stats/base/smaxabs.h"

stdlib_strided_smaxabs( N, *X, strideX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a single-precision floating-point strided array.

const float x[] = { 1.0f, -2.0f, 3.0f, -4.0f };

float v = stdlib_strided_smaxabs( 4, x, 1 );
// returns 4.0f

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • N: [in] CBLAS_INT number of indexed elements.
  • X: [in] float* input array.
  • strideX: [in] CBLAS_INT stride length for X.
float stdlib_strided_smaxabs( const CBLAS_INT N, const float *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX );

stdlib_strided_smaxabs_ndarray( N, *X, strideX, offsetX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a single-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

const float x[] = { 1.0f, -2.0f, 3.0f, -4.0f };

float v = stdlib_strided_smaxabs_ndarray( 4, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 4.0f

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • N: [in] CBLAS_INT number of indexed elements.
  • X: [in] float* input array.
  • strideX: [in] CBLAS_INT stride length for X.
  • offsetX: [in] CBLAS_INT starting index for X.
float stdlib_strided_smaxabs_ndarray( const CBLAS_INT N, const float *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX, const CBLAS_INT offsetX );

Examples

#include "stdlib/stats/base/smaxabs.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    // Create a strided array:
    const float x[] = { 1.0f, -2.0f, -3.0f, 4.0f, -5.0f, -6.0f, 7.0f, 8.0f };

    // Specify the number of elements:
    const int N = 4;

    // Specify the stride length:
    const int strideX = 2;

    // Compute the maximum absolute value:
    float v = stdlib_strided_smaxabs( N, x, strideX );

    // Print the result:
    printf( "maxabs: %f\n", v );
}
