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!

itermmin

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Create an iterator which iteratively computes a moving minimum value.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-iter-mmin

Usage

var itermmin = require( '@stdlib/stats-iter-mmin' );

itermmin( iterator, W )

Returns an iterator which iteratively computes a moving minimum value. The W parameter defines the number of iterated values over which to compute the moving minimum.

var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );

var arr = array2iterator( [ 2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -7.0, -5.0 ] );
var it = itermmin( arr, 3 );

// Fill the window...
var m = it.next().value; // [2.0]
// returns 2.0

m = it.next().value; // [2.0, 1.0]
// returns 1.0

m = it.next().value; // [2.0, 1.0, 3.0]
// returns 1.0

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

m = it.next().value; // [3.0, -7.0, -5.0]
// returns -7.0

Notes

  • If an iterated value is non-numeric (including NaN), the function returns NaN for at least W-1 future invocations. If non-numeric iterated values are possible, you are advised to provide an iterator which type checks and handles non-numeric values accordingly.
  • 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 previously iterated values.

Examples

var runif = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-uniform' );
var itermmin = require( '@stdlib/stats-iter-mmin' );

// Create an iterator for generating uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = runif( -10.0, 10.0, {
    'seed': 1234,
    'iter': 100
});

// Create an iterator for iteratively computing a moving minimum value:
var it = itermmin( rand, 3 );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    if ( typeof v.value === 'number' ) {
        console.log( 'min: %d', v.value );
    }
}
