wink-helpers

Functions for cross validation, shuffle, cartesian product and more

Build Status Coverage Status Inline docs devDependencies Status Gitter

Perform cross validation for machine learning, shuffle an array randomly, remove diacritical marks from text, find cartesian product and more using wink-helpers.

Installation

Use npm to install:

npm install wink-helpers --save

Example Try on Runkit

// Load wink helpers
var helpers = require( 'wink-helpers' );


/* Use array helpers */
console.log( helpers.array.isArray( [] ) );
// -> true

var ppl = [ { name: 'aiden', age: 42 }, { name: 'olivia', age: 37 } ];
console.log( ppl.sort( helpers.array.ascendingOn( 'age' ) ) );
// -> [ { "name": "olivia", "age": 37 }, { "name": "aiden", "age": 42 } ]

console.log( helpers.array.product( [ [ 9, 8 ], [ 1, 2 ] ] ) );
// -> [ [ 9, 1 ], [ 9, 2 ], [ 8, 1 ], [ 8, 2 ] ]

console.log( helpers.array.shuffle( [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ] ) );
// -> [ 3, 7, 8, 9, 6, 4, 2, 1, 10, 5 ]
// Note: output will change on every call!

/* Use object helpers */
console.log( helpers.object.isObject( {} ) );
// -> true

console.log( helpers.object.isObject( new Set() ) );
// -> false

console.log( helpers.object.table( { mobile: 33, chargers: 45, usb: 27 } ) );
// -> [ [ "mobile", 33 ], [ "chargers", 45 ], [ "usb", 27 ] ]


/* Use string helper */
console.log( helpers.string.normalize( 'Résumé' ) );
// -> 'resume'

API

The helper functions are classified into array, object, string and validate.

array

isArray( value )

Tests if argument value is a valid JS array; returns true if it is, otherwise returns false.

sorting compare functions

It is a set of handy compare functions for handling a variety of array sorting needs.

compareFunctionDescription
ascendingSorts elements in ascending order.
descendingSorts elements in descending order.
ascendingOnKeyIt works on array of arrays, where each element is in the [ key, value ] format. Sorts elements in ascending order on the key.
descendingOnKeySame as above, but sorts in descending order.
ascendingOnValueIt works on array of arrays, where each element is in the [ key, value ] format. Sorts elements in ascending order on the value.
descendingOnValueSame as above, but sorts in descending order.
ascendingOn( accessor1 [,accessor2] )A higher order function that returns a compare function for the accessors — refers to a key whose value will be used to determine the sort order.

Can be directly used as the compare function for sort.

It works on array of arrays or objects.

When both the accessors are supplied, the combination is treated as a composite key for sort.
descendingOn( accessor1 [,accessor2] )Same as above, but sorts in descending order.
pluck( array, key, limit )

Plucks the values specified by the key from each element of the array of arrays or objects, and returns the resultant array. The default value of key is 0. The number of elements to be plucked is defined by the limit, whose default value is array.length.

product( array )

Returns the cartesian product of the arrays present inside the array argument. For example, if the array argument is [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4 ], [ 5, 6 ] ], then the return value will be:

[
  [ 1, 4, 5 ],
  [ 1, 4, 6 ],
  [ 2, 4, 5 ],
  [ 2, 4, 6 ],
  [ 3, 4, 5 ],
  [ 3, 4, 6 ]
]
shuffle( array )

Randomly shuffles the order of the elements in the input array using algorithm described in Chapter 3 on Random Numbers of "The Art of Computer Programming Volume II" by Donald E Knuth.

object

isObject( value )

Tests if argument value is a JS object; returns true if it is, otherwise returns false.

keys( obj )

Returns keys of the obj in an array.

size( obj )

Returns the number of keys in the obj.

values( obj )

Returns all the values from each key: value pair in the obj in form of an array.

valueFreq( obj )

Returns the frequency or count of every unique value from each key: value pair in the obj in form of an object.

table( obj [, f] )

Converts each key: value pair in the obj into an array of [ key, value ] pairs. Note the returned value be an array of array. Second argument - f is optional; it is a function, which is called with each value.

string

normalize( str )

Normalizes the str by converting it to lower case and stripping the diacritical marks (if any).

validate

isArray( value )

Alias for array.isArray().

isObject( value )

Alias for object.isObject().

isFiniteInteger( value )

Tests if argument value is a finite integer; returns true if it is, otherwise returns false.

isFiniteNumber( value )

Tests if argument value is a finite number; returns true if it is, otherwise returns false.

cross( classLabels )

Performs cross validation and generates detailed performance metrics along with the confusion matrix. It is a higher order function that returns an object containing evaluate(), metrics(), and reset() functions. The classLabels should be an array containing all the class labels that may be predicted.

The evaluate() function accepts two parameters viz. truth — the actual label and guess — the predicted label. It is typically called for every row of validation dataset. The evaluation may fail if truth or guess value is not a valid classLabels; or if guess is equal to unknown.

The metrics() returns an object containing macro-averaged avgPrecision, avgRecall, avgFMeasure values along with other details such as label-wise recall/precision/f-measure values and the confusion matrix. A value of null is returned if no evaluate() has been called before.

The reset() re-initializes the current instance for another round of evaluation; the class labels defined at instance creation time are not touched.
