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!

incrmmin

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Compute a moving minimum value incrementally.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-incr-mmin

Usage

var incrmmin = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-mmin' );

incrmmin( window )

Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving minimum value. The window parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving minimum.

var accumulator = incrmmin( 3 );

accumulator( [x] )

If provided an input value x, the accumulator function returns an updated minimum value. If not provided an input value x, the accumulator function returns the current minimum value.

var accumulator = incrmmin( 3 );

var m = accumulator();
// returns null

// Fill the window...
m = accumulator( 2.0 ); // [2.0]
// returns 2.0

m = accumulator( 1.0 ); // [2.0, 1.0]
// returns 1.0

m = accumulator( 3.0 ); // [2.0, 1.0, 3.0]
// returns 1.0

// Window begins sliding...
m = accumulator( -7.0 ); // [1.0, 3.0, -7.0]
// returns -7.0

m = accumulator( -5.0 ); // [3.0, -7.0, -5.0]
// returns -7.0

m = accumulator();
// returns -7.0

Notes

  • Input values are not type checked. If provided NaN, the accumulated value is NaN for at least W-1 future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly before passing the value to the accumulator function.
  • As W values are needed to fill the window buffer, the first W-1 returned values are calculated from smaller sample sizes. Until the window is full, each returned value is calculated from all provided values.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var incrmmin = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-mmin' );

var accumulator;
var v;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrmmin( 5 );

// For each simulated datum, update the moving minimum...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    v = randu() * 100.0;
    accumulator( v );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
