=head1 NAME

PDL::Ufunc - primitive ufunc operations for pdl

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides some primitive and useful functions defined
using PDL::PP based on functionality of what are sometimes called
I<ufuncs> (for example NumPY and Mathematica talk about these).
It collects all the functions generally used to C<reduce> or
C<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 L<PDL::Reduce|PDL::Reduce> module provides an alternative interface
to many of the functions in this module.

=for usage

 $b = intover($a);

=for example

 $spectrum = intover $image->xchg(0,1)

Notes:

C<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 C<n E<gt> 3>, these are all C<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 C<O(h)>, but
is the natural (and correct) choice for binned data, of course.




=for bad

It will set the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.

*PDL::avgover = \&PDL::average;


*avgover = \&PDL::average;


=head2 avgover

=head2 daverage

=for sig

=head2 medover

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n); [o]b(); [t]tmp(n))

Project via median to N-1 dimensions

This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle
by one by taking the median along the 1st dimension.

By using L<xchg|PDL::Slices/xchg> etc. it is possible to use
I<any> dimension.

=for usage

 $b = medover($a);

=for example

 $spectrum = medover $image->xchg(0,1)





=for bad

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.


=cut






*medover = \&PDL::medover;





=head2 oddmedover

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n); [o]b(); [t]tmp(n))


=for ref

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 L<xchg|PDL::Slices/xchg> etc. it is possible to use
I<any> dimension.

=for usage

 $b = oddmedover($a);

=for example

 $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.
	



=for bad

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.


=cut






*oddmedover = \&PDL::oddmedover;





=head2 modeover

=for sig

  Signature: (data(n); [o]out(); [t]sorted(n))


=for ref

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 L<xchg|PDL::Slices/xchg> etc. it is possible to use
I<any> dimension.

=for usage

 $b = modeover($a);

=for example

 $spectrum = modeover $image->xchg(0,1)



The mode is the single element most frequently found in a 
discrete data set.

It I<only> makes sense for integer data types, since
floating-point types are demoted to integer before the
mode is calculated.

C<modeover> treats BAD the same as any other value:  if
BAD is the most common element, the returned value is also BAD.




=for 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.


=cut






*modeover = \&PDL::modeover;





=head2 pctover

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n); p(); [o]b(); [t]tmp(n))



=for ref

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
L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile> as used by Microsoft Excel
and recommended by NIST.

By using L<xchg|PDL::Slices/xchg> etc. it is possible to use
I<any> dimension.

=for usage

 $b = pctover($a, $p);

=for example

 $spectrum = pctover $image->xchg(0,1), $p



=for bad

=for sig

  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 L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile>.

By using L<xchg|PDL::Slices/xchg> etc. it is possible to use
I<any> dimension.

=for usage

 $b = oddpctover($a, $p);

=for example

 $spectrum = oddpctover $image->xchg(0,1), $p



=for bad

oddpctover processes bad values.

=head2 minmax

=for ref

Returns an array with minimum and maximum values of a piddle.

=for usage

 ($mn, $mx) = minmax($pdl);

This routine does I<not> thread over the dimensions of C<$pdl>; 
it returns the minimum and maximum values of the whole array.
See L<minmaximum|/minmaximum> if this is not what is required.
The two values are returned as Perl scalars similar to min/max.

=for example

 pdl> $x = pdl [1,-2,3,5,0]
 pdl> ($min, $max) = minmax($x);
 pdl> p "$min $max\n";
 -2 5

=cut

*minmax = \&PDL::minmax;
sub PDL::minmax {
  my ($x)=@_; my $tmp;
  my @arr = $x->clump(-1)->minmaximum;
  return map {$_->sclr} @arr[0,1]; # return as scalars !
}





=head2 qsort

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n); [o]b(n))


=for ref

 pdl> p $b
 [42 47 98 BAD 22 96 74 41 79 76 96 BAD 32 76 25 59 BAD 96 32 BAD]
 pdl> p qsort($b)
 [22 25 32 32 41 42 47 59 74 76 76 79 96 96 96 98 BAD BAD BAD BAD]


=cut






*qsort = \&PDL::qsort;





=head2 qsorti

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n); indx [o]indx(n))


=for ref

Quicksort a vector and return index of elements in ascending order.

=for example

 $ix = qsorti $a;
 print $a->index($ix); # Sorted list



=for bad

Bad elements are moved to the end of the array:

 pdl> p $b
 [42 47 98 BAD 22 96 74 41 79 76 96 BAD 32 76 25 59 BAD 96 32 BAD]
 pdl> p $b->index( qsorti($b) )
 [22 25 32 32 41 42 47 59 74 76 76 79 96 96 96 98 BAD BAD BAD BAD]


=cut






*qsorti = \&PDL::qsorti;





=head2 qsortvec

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n,m); [o]b(n,m))


=for ref

Sort a list of vectors lexicographically.

The 0th dimension of the source piddle is dimension in the vector;
the 1st dimension is list order.  Higher dimensions are threaded over.

=for example

 print qsortvec pdl([[1,2],[0,500],[2,3],[4,2],[3,4],[3,5]]);
 [
  [  0 500]
  [  1   2]
  [  2   3]
  [  3   4]
  [  3   5]
  [  4   2]
 ]
 



=for bad

Vectors with bad components should be moved to the end of the array:


=cut






*qsortvec = \&PDL::qsortvec;





=head2 qsortveci

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n,m); indx [o]indx(m))


=for ref

Sort a list of vectors lexicographically, returning the indices of the
sorted vectors rather than the sorted list itself.

As with C<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 C<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).



=for bad

Vectors with bad components should be moved to the end of the array:


=cut






*qsortveci = \&PDL::qsortveci;





=head2 minimum

=for sig

  Signature: (a(n); [o]c())


=for ref

Project via minimum to N-1 dimensions

This function reduces the dimensionality of a piddle
by one by taking the minimum along the 1st dimension.

By using L<xchg|PDL::Slices/xchg> etc. it is possible to use
I<any> dimension.

=for usage

 $b = minimum($a);

=for example

 $spectrum = minimum $image->xchg(0,1)





=for bad

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

Note that C<NaNs> are considered to be valid values;
see L<isfinite|PDL::Math/isfinite> and L<badmask|PDL::Math/badmask>
for ways of masking NaNs.


=cut

by one by taking the maximum along the 1st dimension.

By using L<xchg|PDL::Slices/xchg> etc. it is possible to use
I<any> dimension.
