+### Usage
+
+```c
+#include "stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/dmin.h"
+```
+
+#### stdlib_stats_dmin( arrays )
+
+Computes the minimum value of a one-dimensional double-precision floating-point ndarray.
+
+```c
+#include "stdlib/ndarray/ctor.h"
+#include "stdlib/ndarray/dtypes.h"
+#include "stdlib/ndarray/index_modes.h"
+#include "stdlib/ndarray/orders.h"
+#include "stdlib/ndarray/base/bytes_per_element.h"
+#include <stdint.h>
+
+// Create an ndarray:
+const double data[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };
+int64_t shape[] = { 4 };
+int64_t strides[] = { STDLIB_NDARRAY_FLOAT64_BYTES_PER_ELEMENT };
+int8_t submodes[] = { STDLIB_NDARRAY_INDEX_ERROR };
+
+struct ndarray *x = stdlib_ndarray_allocate( STDLIB_NDARRAY_FLOAT64, (uint8_t *)data, 1, shape, strides, 0, STDLIB_NDARRAY_ROW_MAJOR, STDLIB_NDARRAY_INDEX_ERROR, 1, submodes );
+
+// Compute the minimum value:
+const struct ndarray *arrays[] = { x };
+double v = stdlib_stats_dmin( arrays );
+// returns 1.0
+
+// Free allocated memory:
+stdlib_ndarray_free( x );
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **arrays**: `[in] struct ndarray**` list containing a one-dimensional input ndarray.
+
+```c
+double stdlib_stats_dmin( const struct ndarray *arrays[] );
+```
