NAME
PDL::Ufunc - primitive ufunc operations for pdl
DESCRIPTION
This module provides some primitive and useful functions defined using PDL::PP based on functionality of what are sometimes called ufuncs (for example NumPY and Mathematica talk about these). It collects all the functions generally used to reduce or accumulate along a dimension. These all do their job across the first dimension but by using the slicing functions you can do it on any dimension.
The PDL::Reduce module provides an alternative interface to many of the functions in this module.

intover
Signature: (a(n); float+ [o]b())Project via integral to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by taking the integral along the 1st dimension.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = intover($x);$spectrum = intover $image->xchg(0,1)Notes:
intover uses a point spacing of one (i.e., delta-h==1). You will need to scale the result to correct for the true point delta).
For n > 3, these are all O(h^4) (like Simpson's rule), but are integrals between the end points assuming the pdl gives values just at these centres: for such `functions', sumover is correct to O(h), but is the natural (and correct) choice for binned data, of course.
intover ignores the bad-value flag of the input piddles. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
average
Signature: (a(n); int+ [o]b())Project via average to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by taking the average along the 1st dimension.

$y = average($x);$spectrum = average $image->xchg(0,1)average processes bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
avgover
Synonym for average.caverage
Signature: (a(n); cdouble [o]b())Project via average to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by taking the average along the 1st dimension.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = daverage($x);$spectrum = daverage $image->xchg(0,1)Unlike average, the calculation is performed in complex double precision.
caverage processes bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
daverage
Signature: (a(n); double [o]b())Project via average to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by taking the average along the 1st dimension.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = daverage($x);$spectrum = daverage $image->xchg(0,1)Unlike "average", the calculation is performed in double precision.
daverage processes bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.

Synonym for daverage.medover

By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = medover($x);$spectrum = medover $image->xchg(0,1)medover processes bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
oddmedover
Signature: (a(n); [o]b(); [t]tmp(n))Project via oddmedian to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by taking the oddmedian along the 1st dimension.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = oddmedover($x);$spectrum = oddmedover $image->xchg(0,1)The median is sometimes not a good choice as if the array has an even number of elements it lies half-way between the two middle values - thus it does not always correspond to a data value. The lower-odd median is just the lower of these two values and so it ALWAYS sits on an actual data value which is useful in some circumstances.
oddmedover processes bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
modeover
Signature: (data(n); [o]out(); [t]sorted(n))Project via mode to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by taking the mode along the 1st dimension.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = modeover($x);$spectrum = modeover $image->xchg(0,1)The mode is the single element most frequently found in a discrete data set.
It only makes sense for integer data types, since floating-point types are demoted to integer before the mode is calculated.
modeover treats BAD the same as any other value: if BAD is the most common element, the returned value is also BAD.
modeover does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
pctover
Signature: (a(n); p(); [o]b(); [t]tmp(n))Project via percentile to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by finding the specified percentile (p) along the 1st dimension. The specified percentile must be between 0.0 and 1.0. When the specified percentile falls between data points, the result is interpolated. Values outside the allowed range are clipped to 0.0 or 1.0 respectively. The algorithm implemented here is based on the interpolation variant described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile as used by Microsoft Excel and recommended by NIST.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = pctover($x, $p);$spectrum = pctover $image->xchg(0,1), $ppctover processes bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
oddpctover
Signature: (a(n); p(); [o]b(); [t]tmp(n))Project via percentile to N-1 dimensions
This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by finding the specified percentile along the 1st dimension. The specified percentile must be between 0.0 and 1.0. When the specified percentile falls between two values, the nearest data value is the result. The algorithm implemented is from the textbook version described first at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = oddpctover($x, $p);$spectrum = oddpctover $image->xchg(0,1), $poddpctover processes bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.

-2 5qsort
Signature: (a(n); [o]b(n))Quicksort a vector into ascending order.

[ 1 2]
[ 2 3]
[ 3 4]
[ 3 5]
[ 4 2]
]Vectors with bad components should be moved to the end of the array:
qsortveci
Signature: (a(n,m); indx [o]indx(m))Sort a list of vectors lexicographically, returning the indices of the sorted vectors rather than the sorted list itself.
As with qsortvec, the input PDL should be an NxM array containing M separate N-dimensional vectors. The return value is an integer M-PDL containing the M-indices of original array rows, in sorted order.
As with qsortvec, the zeroth element of the vectors runs slowest in the sorted list.
Additional dimensions are threaded over: each plane is sorted separately, so qsortveci may be thought of as a collapse operator of sorts (groan).
Vectors with bad components should be moved to the end of the array:
minimum

This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle by one by taking the minimum along the 1st dimension.
By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.
$y = minimum($x);$spectrum = minimum $image->xchg(0,1)Output is set bad if all elements of the input are bad, otherwise the bad flag is cleared for the output piddle.
Note that NaNs are considered to be valid values; see isfinite and badmask for ways of masking NaNs.
minimum_ind

Output is set bad if all elements of the input are bad, otherwise the bad flag is cleared for the output piddle.
