nanminBy
Calculate the minimum value of a strided array via a callback function, ignoring
NaNvalues.
Usage
var nanminBy = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/nanmin-by' );
nanminBy( N, x, stride, clbk[, thisArg] )
Calculates the minimum value of strided array x via a callback function, ignoring NaN values.
function accessor( v ) {
    return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, NaN, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0, NaN ];
var v = nanminBy( x.length, x, 1, accessor );
// returns -10.0
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
 - x: input 
Array,typed array, or an array-like object (excluding strings and functions). - stride: index increment.
 - clbk: callback function.
 - thisArg: execution context (optional).
 
The invoked callback is provided four arguments:
- value: array element.
 - aidx: array index.
 - sidx: strided index (
offset + aidx*stride). - array: input array/collection.
 
To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.
function accessor( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, NaN, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0, NaN ];
var context = {
    'count': 0
};
var v = nanminBy( x.length, x, 1, accessor, context );
// returns -10.0
var cnt = context.count;
// returns 10
The N and stride parameters determine which elements in x are accessed at runtime. For example, to access every other element
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );
function accessor( v ) {
    return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0, NaN, NaN ];
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );
var v = nanminBy( N, x, 2, accessor );
// returns -4.0
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );
function accessor( v ) {
    return v * 2.0;
}
// Initial array...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );
// Create an offset view...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var N = floor( x0.length/2 );
// Access every other element...
var v = nanminBy( N, x1, 2, accessor );
// returns -12.0
nanminBy.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset, clbk[, thisArg] )
Calculates the minimum value of strided array x via a callback function, ignoring NaN values and using alternative indexing semantics.
function accessor( v ) {
    return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, NaN, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0, NaN ];
var v = nanminBy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, accessor );
// returns -10.0
The function has the following additional parameters:
- offset: starting index.
 
While 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 access only the last three elements of x
function accessor( v ) {
    return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ];
var v = nanminBy.ndarray( 3, x, 1, x.length-3, accessor );
// returns -12.0
Notes
- If 
N <= 0, both functions returnNaN. - A provided callback function should return a numeric value.
 - If a provided callback function returns 
NaN, the value is ignored. - If a provided callback function does not return any value (or equivalently, explicitly returns 
undefined), the value is ignored. - When possible, prefer using 
dnanmin,snanmin, and/ornanmin, as, depending on the environment, these interfaces are likely to be significantly more performant. 
Examples
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var gfillBy = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/gfill-by' );
var nanminBy = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/nanmin-by' );
function fill() {
    if ( randu() < 0.2 ) {
        return NaN;
    }
    return round( ( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0 );
}
function accessor( v ) {
    return v * 2.0;
}
var x = new Float64Array( 10 );
gfillBy( x.length, x, 1, fill );
console.log( x );
var v = nanminBy( x.length, x, 1, accessor );
console.log( v );
