Usage

To use compute,

var compute = require( 'compute.io' );

The compute module is comprised of several smaller modules. If you want to roll your own compute, follow the links and import the individual modules.

The compute module has the following methods...

Utilities

compute.polyval( coef, x[, opts] )

Evaluates a polynomial whose coefficients are defined by coef. x may be either a single numeric value or an array of values at which to evaluate to the polynomial.

var coef = [ 4, 2, 6, -17 ];

var vals = compute.polyval( coef, [ 10, -3] );
// returns [ 4243, -125 ]

For object arrays, provide an accessor function for accessing array values.

var coefs = [ 4, 2, 6, -17 ];

var data = [
    ['beep', 10],
    ['boop', -3]
];

function getValue( d, i ) {
    return d[ 1 ];
}

var vals = compute.polyval( coefs, data, {
    'accessor': getValue
});
// returns [ 4243, -125 ]

For additional options, see compute-polynomial.

compute.find( arr, [opts,] clbk )

Finds array elements which satisfy a test condition.

var arr = [ 2, 1, 3, 4 ];

var opts = {
	'k': -2,
	'returns': '*'
};

function condition( val ) {
	return val < 4;
}

var results = compute.find( arr, opts, condition );
// returns [ [2,3], [1,1] ]

For further documentation, see the compute-find module.

compute.dims( arr[, max] )

Computes array dimensions, including nested arrays.

var data, d;

data = [ 1, 2 ];
d = compute.dims( data );
// returns [2]

data = [ [1,2], [1,2] ];
d = compute.dims( data );
// returns [2,2]

To limit the number of dimensions returned, set the max option.

compute.issorted( arr[, comparator] )

Returns a boolean indicating if an input array is sorted.

var bool = compute.issorted( [ 2, 3, 5, 4 ] );
// returns false

By default, the method assumes ascending order. To impose an arbitrary sort order, provide a comparator function.

function descending( a, b ) {
	return b - a;
}

var bool = compute.issorted( [ 5, 4, 3, 2 ], descending );
// returns true

compute.flatten( arr[, options] )

Flattens an array.

var arr = [ 1, [2, [3, [4, [ 5 ], 6], 7], 8], 9 ];

var out = compute.flatten( arr );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ]

For method options, such as limiting depth, deep copying, and function generation, see compute-flatten.

Array Creation

compute.linspace( start, stop[, length] )

Generates a linearly spaced numeric array. If a length is not provided, the default output array length is 100.

var arr = compute.linspace( 0, 100, 6 );
// returns [ 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 ]

compute.incrspace( start, stop[, increment] )

Generates a linearly spaced numeric array. If an increment is not provided, the default increment is 1.

var arr = compute.incrspace( 0, 11, 2 );
// returns [ 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ]

compute.indexspace( str, len )

Generates a linearly spaced index array from a subsequence string. len specifies the output index array length.

var arr = compute.indexspace( ':', 5 );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

arr = compute.indexspace( '2:', 5 );
// returns [ 2, 3, 4 ]

arr = compute.indexspace( '1:4:2', 5 );
// returns [ 1, 3 ]

arr = compute.indexspace( '-3:', 5 );
// returns [ 2, 3, 4 ];

arr = compute.indexspace( ':-2', 5 );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2 ]

arr = compute.indexspace( ':', 0 );
// returns []

The subsequence string syntax is similar to Python's slice notation.

var str = '<start>:<stop>:<increment>';

The method also recognizes the end keyword, which refers to the last index; i.e., len-1. If specified as the stop index, end is inclusive and equivalent to <start>::<increment>.

arr = compute.indexspace( 'end::-1', 5 );
// returns [ 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 ]

arr = compute.indexspace( ':end', 5 );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

Basic arithmetic (subtraction and division) may be performed on the end keyword. The result from division is rounded up to the next integer.

arr = compute.indexspace( 'end-2::-1', 5 );
// returns [ 2, 1, 0 ];

arr = compute.indexspace( ':end/2', 5 );
// returns [ 0, 1 ]

For further details about syntax and additional examples, see compute-indexspace.

compute.logspace( a, b[, length] )

Generates a logarithmically spaced numeric array. If a length is not provided, the default output array length is 10.

var arr = compute.logspace( 0, 2, 6 );
// returns [ 1, ~2.5, ~6.31, ~15.85, ~39.81, 100 ]

compute.datespace( start, stop[, length, opts] )

Generates an array of linearly spaced Date objects. If a length is not provided, the default output array length is 100.

var stop = '2014-12-02T07:00:54.973Z',
	start = new Date( stop ) - 60000;

var arr = compute.datespace( start, stop, 6 );
/* returns [
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 22:59:54 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:06 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:18 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:30 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:42 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:54 GMT-0800 (PST)'
]
*/

For function options, see the compute-datespace module.

compute.incrdatespace( start, stop[, increment, opts] )

Generates an array of linearly spaced Date objects. If an increment is not provided, the default increment is day.

var stop = '2014-12-02T07:00:54.973Z',
	start = new Date( stop ) - 60000;

var arr = compute.incrdatespace( start, stop, '8sec' );
/* returns [
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 22:59:54 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:06 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:18 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:30 GMT-0800 (PST)',
	'Mon Dec 01 2014 23:00:42 GMT-0800 (PST)'
]
*/

For function options, see the compute-incrdatespace module.

compute.zip( arr1, arr2,...[, opts] )

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = compute.reverse( arr, {
	'copy': true
});
// returns [ 4, 3, 2, 1 ];

console.log( arr === out );
// returns false

If the input array is already sorted in ascending order, set the sorted flag to true.

compute.truncmean( arr, discard[, opts] )

Computes the truncated mean of an array. The discard parameter specifies how many values are excluded from both ends of the input array when computing the statistic. discard may either be expressed as a percentage on the interval [0,0.5] or as an integer less than half the input array length.

var data = [ 2, 4, 5, 3, 8, 2, 4, 4, 100, 0 ];

var mu = compute.truncmean( data, 0.1 );
// returns 4

If the input array is already sorted in ascending order, set the sorted option to true.

    {'x':8},
    {'x':2},
    {'x':4},
    {'x':4},
    {'x':100},
    {'x':0}
];

function getValue( d ) {
	return d.x;
}

var mu = compute.truncmean( data, 0.1, {
	'accessor': getValue
});
// returns 4

For additional options, see compute-truncmean.

var data = [ 2, 4, 2, 7, 3 ];

var kur = compute.kurtosis( data );

compute.covariance( arr1[, arr2,...,opts] )

Computes the covariance between one or more numeric arrays.

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ],
	y = [ 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ];

var mat = compute.covariance( x, y );
// returns [[2.5,-2.5],[-2.5,2.5]]

// returns [[1,-1],[-1,1]]

Information Theory

compute.hamdist( a, b[, accessor] )

Computes the Hamming distance between two sequences of equal length.

var a = 'beep',
	b = 'boop';

var dist = compute.hamdist( a, b );
// returns 2

var c = [ 4, 2, 3, 4 ],
	d = [ 2, 4, 3, 1 ];

var dist = compute.hamdist( c, d );
// returns 3

To compute the Hamming distance between nested array values, provide an accessor function for accessing array values.

var a = [
	{'x':4},
	{'x':2},
	{'x':3},
	{'x':4}
];

var b = [
	[1,2],
	[2,4],
	[3,3],
	[4,1]
];

function getValue( d, i, j ) {
	if ( j === 0 ) {
		return d.x;
	}
	return d[ 1 ];
}

var dist = compute.hamdist( a, b, getValue );
// returns 3

compute.tversky( a, b[, opts] )

Computes the Tversky Index between two sequences.

var a = 'beep',
	b = 'boop';

var idx = compute.tversky( a, b );

var c = [ 4, 2, 3, 5, 7 ],
	d = [ 2, 4, 3, 1 ];

var idx = compute.tversky( c, d );

Fluent Interface

For data pipelines, invoking serial methods can become verbose.

data = compute.roundn( data, -3 );
data = compute.mean( data );
data = compute.roundn( data, 0 );
...

Fluent interfaces can help alleviate this problem. Such interfaces have been popularized by libraries such as jQuery and D3 which utilize method chaining.

To create a fluent interface,

var flow = compute.flow();

A flow pipeline should be initialized.

flow.value( data );

Once initialized, all compute methods are now available. The lone difference is that data should not be explicitly passed as an argument. For example,

flow
	.value( data )
	.roundn( -3 )
	.mean()
	.roundn( 0 );

To return the flow value,

var mean = flow.value();

To help understand the transformations comprising a data pipeline, flow exposes an inspect() method, which logs the current value to the console while maintaining the fluent interface.

flow.inspect();

The above flow can be modified accordingly,

flow
	.value( data )
	.inspect()
	.roundn( -3 )
	.inspect()
	.mean()
	.inspect()
	.roundn( 0 )
	.inspect();

To summarize the flow API...

flow.value( [value] )

This method is a setter/getter. If no value is provided, returns the current flow value. If a value is provided, sets the flow value.

flow.value( [ 4, 3, 6, 2 ] );
flow.inspect()

Logs the current flow value to the console, while maintaining the fluent interface.

flow.inspect();

Notes

  1. When creating flows, ensure that the output from one computation matches the input argument requirements for the next computation.
  2. For large datasets, rather than loading datasets into memory, consider using file streams and utilize stream tools such as Flow.io.

Tests

Unit

Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

$ make view-cov
