# cuminabs

> Calculate the cumulative minimum absolute value of a strided array.

<section class="intro">

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var cuminabs = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/cuminabs' );
```

#### cuminabs( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Computes the cumulative minimum absolute value of a strided array.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

cuminabs( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Array`][mdn-array] or [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array].
-   **strideX**: index increment for `x`.
-   **y**: output [`Array`][mdn-array] or [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array].
-   **strideY**: index increment for `y`.

The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` and `y` are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the cumulative minimum absolute value of every other element in `x`,

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

var v = cuminabs( 4, x, 2, y, 1 );
// y => [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
```

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

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( x0.length );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

cuminabs( 4, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 4.0, 2.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.0 ]
```

#### cuminabs.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Computes the cumulative minimum absolute value of a strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

cuminabs.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
-   **offsetY**: starting index for `y`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, `offsetX` and `offsetY` parameters support indexing semantics based on a starting indices. For example, to calculate the cumulative minimum absolute value of every other value in `x` starting from the second value and to store in the last `N` elements of `y` starting from the last element

```javascript
var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

cuminabs.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
```

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `y` unchanged.
-   Depending on the environment, the typed versions ([`dcuminabs`][@stdlib/stats/base/dcuminabs], [`scuminabs`][@stdlib/stats/base/scuminabs], etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var cuminabs = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/cuminabs' );

var y;
var x;
var i;

x = new Float64Array( 10 );
y = new Float64Array( x.length );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    x[ i ] = round( randu()*100.0 );
}
console.log( x );
console.log( y );

cuminabs( x.length, x, 1, y, -1 );
console.log( y );
```
