About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Compute the mean absolute error (MAE) incrementally.
The mean absolute error is defined as
To use in Observable,
incrmae = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-incr-mae@umd/browser.js' )To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:
var incrmae = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/stats-incr-mae/index.js' )To include the bundle in a webpage,
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-incr-mae@umd/browser.js"></script>If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
window.incrmae;
})();
</script>Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes the mean absolute error.
var accumulator = incrmae();If provided input values x and y, the accumulator function returns an updated mean absolute error. If not provided input values x and y, the accumulator function returns the current mean absolute error.
var accumulator = incrmae();
var m = accumulator( 2.0, 3.0 );
// returns 1.0
m = accumulator( -1.0, -4.0 );
// returns 2.0
m = accumulator( -3.0, 5.0 );
// returns 4.0
m = accumulator();
// returns 4.0- Input values are not type checked. If provided
NaNor a value which, when used in computations, results inNaN, the accumulated value isNaNfor all future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly before passing the value to the accumulator function. - Warning: the mean absolute error is scale-dependent and, thus, the measure should not be used to make comparisons between datasets having different scales.
