dasum
Computes the sum of absolute values (L1 norm).
The L1 norm is defined as
Installation
$ npm install blas-dasum
Usage
var asum = ;
asum( N, x, stride, offset )
Computes the sum of absolute values.
var x = -2 1 3 -5 4 0 -1 -3 ;var sum = ;// returns 19
The function
accepts the following parameters:
- N: number of elements to sum.
- x: input
array
ortyped array
. - stride: index increment.
- offset: starting index.
The N
, stride
, and offset
parameters determine which elements in x
are used to compute the sum. For example, to select every other value starting from the second element,
var x = -2 1 3 -5 4 0 -1 -3 ;var N = Math;var stride = 2;var offset = 1;var sum = ;// returns 9
If any of the following conditions are met
N <= 0
stride <= 0
offset < 0
the function
returns undefined
.
Notes
Examples
var asum = ;var rand;var sign;var x;var i;x = 100 ;for i = 0; i < xlength; i++rand = Math;sign = Math;if sign < 05sign = -1;elsesign = 1;x i = sign * rand;console;

$ node ./examples/index.js
Tests
Unit
This repository uses tape for unit tests. 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
Browser Support
This repository uses Testling for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test-browsers
To view the tests in a local web browser,
$ make view-browser-tests
