nanrange

Compute the range of a one-dimensional ndarray, ignoring NaN values.

The range is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

Usage

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

nanrange( arrays )

Computes the range of a one-dimensional ndarray, ignoring NaN values.

var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor' );

var xbuf = [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ];
var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var v = nanrange( [ x ] );
// returns 4.0

The function has the following parameters:

• arrays: array-like object containing a one-dimensional input ndarray.

Notes

• If provided an empty one-dimensional ndarray, the function returns NaN.

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/uniform' );
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array/filled-by' );
var bernoulli = require( '@stdlib/random/base/bernoulli' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-array' );
var nanrange = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/nanrange' );

function rand() {
    if ( bernoulli( 0.8 ) < 1 ) {
        return NaN;
    }
    return uniform( -50.0, 50.0 );
}

var xbuf = filledarrayBy( 10, 'generic', rand );
var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ xbuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
console.log( ndarray2array( x ) );

var v = nanrange( [ x ] );
console.log( v );
