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!

incrpcorrdistmat

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Compute a sample Pearson product-moment correlation distance matrix incrementally.

A sample Pearson product-moment correlation distance matrix is an M-by-M matrix whose elements specified by indices j and k are the sample Pearson product-moment correlation distances between the jth and kth data variables. The sample Pearson product-moment correlation distance is defined as

Equation for the Pearson product-moment correlation distance.

where r is the sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, cov(x,y) is the sample covariance, and σ corresponds to the sample standard deviation. As r resides on the interval [-1,1], d resides on the interval [0,2].

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-incr-pcorrdistmat

Usage

var incrpcorrdistmat = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-pcorrdistmat' );

incrpcorrdistmat( out[, means] )

Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a sample Pearson product-moment correlation distance matrix.

// Create an accumulator for computing a 2-dimensional correlation distance matrix:
var accumulator = incrpcorrdistmat( 2 );

The out argument may be either the order of the correlation distance matrix or a square 2-dimensional ndarray for storing the correlation distance matrix.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-ctor' );

var buffer = new Float64Array( 4 );
var shape = [ 2, 2 ];
var strides = [ 2, 1 ];

// Create a 2-dimensional output correlation distance matrix:
var dist = ndarray( 'float64', buffer, shape, strides, 0, 'row-major' );

var accumulator = incrpcorrdistmat( dist );

When means are known, the function supports providing a 1-dimensional ndarray containing mean values.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-ctor' );

var buffer = new Float64Array( 2 );
var shape = [ 2 ];
var strides = [ 1 ];

var means = ndarray( 'float64', buffer, shape, strides, 0, 'row-major' );

means.set( 0, 3.0 );
means.set( 1, -5.5 );

var accumulator = incrpcorrdistmat( 2, means );

accumulator( [vector] )

If provided a data vector, the accumulator function returns an updated sample Pearson product-moment distance correlation matrix. If not provided a data vector, the accumulator function returns the current sample Pearson product-moment correlation distance matrix.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-ctor' );

var buffer = new Float64Array( 4 );
var shape = [ 2, 2 ];
var strides = [ 2, 1 ];
var dist = ndarray( 'float64', buffer, shape, strides, 0, 'row-major' );

buffer = new Float64Array( 2 );
shape = [ 2 ];
strides = [ 1 ];
var vec = ndarray( 'float64', buffer, shape, strides, 0, 'row-major' );

var accumulator = incrpcorrdistmat( dist );

vec.set( 0, 2.0 );
vec.set( 1, 1.0 );

var out = accumulator( vec );
// returns <ndarray>

var bool = ( out === dist );
// returns true

vec.set( 0, 1.0 );
vec.set( 1, -5.0 );

out = accumulator( vec );
// returns <ndarray>

vec.set( 0, 3.0 );
vec.set( 1, 3.14 );

out = accumulator( vec );
// returns <ndarray>

out = accumulator();
// returns <ndarray>

Notes

  • Due to limitations inherent in representing numeric values using floating-point format (i.e., the inability to represent numeric values with infinite precision), the correlation distance between perfectly correlated random variables may not be 0 or 2. In fact, the correlation distance is not guaranteed to be strictly on the interval [0,2]. Any computed distance should, however, be within floating-point roundoff error.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-ctor' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var incrpcorrdistmat = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-pcorrdistmat' );

var dist;
var dxy;
var dyx;
var dx;
var dy;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator for a 2-dimensional correlation distance matrix:
var accumulator = incrpcorrdistmat( 2 );

// Create a 1-dimensional data vector:
var buffer = new Float64Array( 2 );
var shape = [ 2 ];
var strides = [ 1 ];

var vec = ndarray( 'float64', buffer, shape, strides, 0, 'row-major' );

// For each simulated data vector, update the sample correlation distance matrix...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    vec.set( 0, randu()*100.0 );
    vec.set( 1, randu()*100.0 );
    dist = accumulator( vec );

    dx = dist.get( 0, 0 ).toFixed( 4 );
    dy = dist.get( 1, 1 ).toFixed( 4 );
    dxy = dist.get( 0, 1 ).toFixed( 4 );
    dyx = dist.get( 1, 0 ).toFixed( 4 );

    console.log( '[ %d, %d\n  %d, %d ]', dx, dxy, dyx, dy );
}
