itermsumabs2

Create an iterator which iteratively computes a moving sum of squared absolute values.

For a window of size W, the moving sum of squared absolute values is defined as

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-iter-msumabs2

Usage

var itermsumabs2 = require( '@stdlib/stats-iter-msumabs2' );

itermsumabs2( iterator, W )

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

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

var arr = array2iterator( [ 2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -7.0, -5.0 ] );
var it = itermsumabs2( arr, 3 );

// Fill the window...
var s = it.next().value; // [2.0]
// returns 4.0

s = it.next().value; // [2.0, 1.0]
// returns 5.0

s = it.next().value; // [2.0, 1.0, 3.0]
// returns 14.0

// Window begins sliding...
s = it.next().value; // [1.0, 3.0, -7.0]
// returns 59.0

s = it.next().value; // [3.0, -7.0, -5.0]
// returns 83.0

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 itermsumabs2 = require( '@stdlib/stats-iter-msumabs2' );

// 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 sum of squared absolute values:
var it = itermsumabs2( rand, 3 );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    if ( typeof v.value === 'number' ) {
        console.log( 'sumabs2: %d', v.value );
    }
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
