    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!

> Calculate the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of a single-precision floating-point strided array using ordinary recursive summation with extended accumulation.



The [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] is defined as



```math

\mu = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} x_i

```



## Installation



```bash

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-sdsmeanors

```



Alternatively,



-   To load the package in a website via a `script` tag without installation and bundlers, use the [ES Module][es-module] available on the [`esm`][esm-url] branch (see [README][esm-readme]).

-   If you are using Deno, visit the [`deno`][deno-url] branch (see [README][deno-readme] for usage intructions).

-   For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the [Universal Module Definition (UMD)][umd] build available on the [`umd`][umd-url] branch (see [README][umd-readme]).



The [branches.md][branches-url] file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.



To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.



## Usage



```javascript

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

```



#### sdsmeanors( N, x, stride )



Computes the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` using ordinary recursive summation with extended accumulation.



```javascript

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



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

var N = x.length;



var v = sdsmeanors( N, x, 1 );

// returns ~0.3333

```



The function has the following parameters:



-   **N**: number of indexed elements.

-   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].

-   **stride**: index increment for `x`.



The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of every other element in `x`,



```javascript

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

var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );



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

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );



var v = sdsmeanors( N, x, 2 );

// returns 1.25

```



Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.



```javascript

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

var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );



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 N = floor( x0.length / 2 );



var v = sdsmeanors( N, x1, 2 );

// returns 1.25

```



#### sdsmeanors.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset )



Computes the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of a single-precision floating-point strided array using ordinary recursive summation with extended accumulation and alternative indexing semantics.



```javascript

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



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

var N = x.length;



var v = sdsmeanors.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0 );

// returns ~0.33333

```



The function has the following additional parameters:



-   **offset**: starting index for `x`.



While [`typed array`][mdn-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 [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] for every other value in `x` starting from the second value



```javascript

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

var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );



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

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );



var v = sdsmeanors.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 );

// returns 1.25

```



## Notes



-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `NaN`.

-   Accumulated intermediate values are stored as double-precision floating-point numbers. 



## Examples



```javascript

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );

var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );

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

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



var x;

var i;



x = new Float32Array( 10 );

for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {

    x[ i ] = round( (randu()*100.0) - 50.0 );

}

console.log( x );



var v = sdsmeanors( x.length, x, 1 );

console.log( v );

```
