NAME

6       PDL::Primitive - primitive operations for pdl
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This module provides some primitive and useful functions defined using
10       PDL::PP and able to use the new indexing tricks.
11
12       See PDL::Indexing for how to use indices creatively.  For explanation
13       of the signature format, see PDL::PP.

SYNOPSIS

16        # Pulls in PDL::Primitive, among other modules.
17        use PDL;
18
19        # Only pull in PDL::Primitive:
20        use PDL::Primitive;

FUNCTIONS

23   inner
24         Signature: (a(n); b(n); [o]c())
25
26       Inner product over one dimension
27
28        c = sum_i a_i * b_i
29
30       If "a() * b()" contains only bad data, "c()" is set bad. Otherwise
31       "c()" will have its bad flag cleared, as it will not contain any bad
32       values.
33
34   outer
35         Signature: (a(n); b(m); [o]c(n,m))
36
37       outer product over one dimension
38
39       Naturally, it is possible to achieve the effects of outer product
40       simply by broadcasting over the ""*"" operator but this function is
41       provided for convenience.
42
43       outer processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
44       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
45
46   x
47        Signature: (a(i,z), b(x,i),[o]c(x,z))
48
49       Matrix multiplication
50
51       PDL overloads the "x" operator (normally the repeat operator) for
52       matrix multiplication.  The number of columns (size of the 0 dimension)
53       in the left-hand argument must normally equal the number of rows (size
54       of the 1 dimension) in the right-hand argument.
55
56       Row vectors are represented as (N x 1) two-dimensional PDLs, or you may
57       be sloppy and use a one-dimensional PDL.  Column vectors are
58       represented as (1 x N) two-dimensional PDLs.
59
60       Broadcasting occurs in the usual way, but as both the 0 and 1 dimension
61       (if present) are included in the operation, you must be sure that you
62       don't try to broadcast over either of those dims.
63
64       Of note, due to how Perl v5.14.0 and above implement operator
65       overloading of the "x" operator, the use of parentheses for the left
66       operand creates a list context, that is
67
68        pdl> ( $x * $y ) x $z
69        ERROR: Argument "..." isn't numeric in repeat (x) ...
70
71       treats $z as a numeric count for the list repeat operation and does not
72       call the scalar form of the overloaded operator. To use the operator in
73       this case, use a scalar context:
74
75        pdl> scalar( $x * $y ) x $z
76
77       or by calling "matmult" directly:
78
79        pdl> ( $x * $y )->matmult( $z )
80
81       EXAMPLES
82
83       Here are some simple ways to define vectors and matrices:
84
85        pdl> $r = pdl(1,2);                # A row vector
86        pdl> $c = pdl([[3],[4]]);          # A column vector
87        pdl> $c = pdl(3,4)->(*1);          # A column vector, using NiceSlice
88        pdl> $m = pdl([[1,2],[3,4]]);      # A 2x2 matrix
89
90       Now that we have a few objects prepared, here is how to matrix-multiply
91       them:
92
93        pdl> print $r x $m                 # row x matrix = row
94        [
95         [ 7 10]
96        ]
97
98        pdl> print $m x $r                 # matrix x row = ERROR
99        PDL: Dim mismatch in matmult of [2x2] x [2x1]: 2 != 1
100
101        pdl> print $m x $c                 # matrix x column = column
102        [
103         [ 5]
104         [11]
105        ]
106
107        pdl> print $m x 2                  # Trivial case: scalar mult.
108        [
109         [2 4]
110         [6 8]
111        ]
112
113        pdl> print $r x $c                 # row x column = scalar
114        [
115         [11]
116        ]
117
118        pdl> print $c x $r                 # column x row = matrix
119        [
120         [3 6]
121         [4 8]
122        ]
123
124       INTERNALS
125
126       The mechanics of the multiplication are carried out by the "matmult"
127       method.
128
129   matmult
130         Signature: (a(t,h); b(w,t); [o]c(w,h))
131
132       Matrix multiplication
133
134       Notionally, matrix multiplication $x x $y is equivalent to the
135       broadcasting expression
136
137           $x->dummy(1)->inner($y->xchg(0,1)->dummy(2),$c);
138
139       but for large matrices that breaks CPU cache and is slow.  Instead,
140       matmult calculates its result in 32x32x32 tiles, to keep the memory
141       footprint within cache as long as possible on most modern CPUs.
142
143       For usage, see "x", a description of the overloaded 'x' operator
144
145       matmult ignores the bad-value flag of the input ndarrays.  It will set
146       the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of
147       the input ndarrays.
148
149   innerwt
150         Signature: (a(n); b(n); c(n); [o]d())
151
152       Weighted (i.e. triple) inner product
153
154        d = sum_i a(i) b(i) c(i)
155
156       innerwt processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
157       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
158
159   inner2
160         Signature: (a(n); b(n,m); c(m); [o]d())
161
162       Inner product of two vectors and a matrix
163
164        d = sum_ij a(i) b(i,j) c(j)
165
166       Note that you should probably not broadcast over "a" and "c" since that
167       would be very wasteful. Instead, you should use a temporary for "b*c".
168
169       inner2 processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
170       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
171
172   inner2d
173         Signature: (a(n,m); b(n,m); [o]c())
174
175       Inner product over 2 dimensions.
176
177       Equivalent to
178
179        $c = inner($x->clump(2), $y->clump(2))
180
181       inner2d processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
182       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
183
184   inner2t
185         Signature: (a(j,n); b(n,m); c(m,k); [t]tmp(n,k); [o]d(j,k)))
186
187       Efficient Triple matrix product "a*b*c"
188
189       Efficiency comes from by using the temporary "tmp". This operation only
190       scales as "N**3" whereas broadcasting using "inner2" would scale as
191       "N**4".
192
193       The reason for having this routine is that you do not need to have the
194       same broadcast-dimensions for "tmp" as for the other arguments, which
195       in case of large numbers of matrices makes this much more memory-
196       efficient.
197
198       It is hoped that things like this could be taken care of as a kind of
199       closures at some point.
200
201       inner2t processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
202       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
203
204   crossp
205         Signature: (a(tri=3); b(tri); [o] c(tri))
206
207       Cross product of two 3D vectors
208
209       After
210
211        $c = crossp $x, $y
212
213       the inner product "$c*$x" and "$c*$y" will be zero, i.e. $c is
214       orthogonal to $x and $y
215
216       crossp does not process bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of
217       all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
218
219   norm
220         Signature: (vec(n); [o] norm(n))
221
222       Normalises a vector to unit Euclidean length
223
224       norm processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
225       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
226
227   indadd
228         Signature: (input(n); indx ind(n); [io] sum(m))
229
230       Broadcasting index add: add "input" to the "ind" element of "sum", i.e:
231
232        sum(ind) += input
233
234       Simple example:
235
236         $x = 2;
237         $ind = 3;
238         $sum = zeroes(10);
239         indadd($x,$ind, $sum);
240         print $sum
241         #Result: ( 2 added to element 3 of $sum)
242         # [0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0]
243
244       Broadcasting example:
245
246         $x = pdl( 1,2,3);
247         $ind = pdl( 1,4,6);
248         $sum = zeroes(10);
249         indadd($x,$ind, $sum);
250         print $sum."\n";
251         #Result: ( 1, 2, and 3 added to elements 1,4,6 $sum)
252         # [0 1 0 0 2 0 3 0 0 0]
253
254       The routine barfs on bad indices, and bad inputs set target outputs
255       bad.
256
257   conv1d
258         Signature: (a(m); kern(p); [o]b(m); int reflect)
259
260       1D convolution along first dimension
261
262       The m-th element of the discrete convolution of an input ndarray $a of
263       size $M, and a kernel ndarray $kern of size $P, is calculated as
264
265                                     n = ($P-1)/2
266                                     ====
267                                     \
268         ($a conv1d $kern)[m]   =     >      $a_ext[m - n] * $kern[n]
269                                     /
270                                     ====
271                                     n = -($P-1)/2
272
273       where $a_ext is either the periodic (or reflected) extension of $a so
274       it is equal to $a on " 0..$M-1 " and equal to the corresponding
275       periodic/reflected image of $a outside that range.
276
277         $con = conv1d sequence(10), pdl(-1,0,1);
278
279         $con = conv1d sequence(10), pdl(-1,0,1), {Boundary => 'reflect'};
280
281       By default, periodic boundary conditions are assumed (i.e. wrap
282       around).  Alternatively, you can request reflective boundary conditions
283       using the "Boundary" option:
284
285         {Boundary => 'reflect'} # case in 'reflect' doesn't matter
286
287       The convolution is performed along the first dimension. To apply it
288       across another dimension use the slicing routines, e.g.
289
290         $y = $x->mv(2,0)->conv1d($kernel)->mv(0,2); # along third dim
291
292       This function is useful for broadcasted filtering of 1D signals.
293
294       Compare also conv2d, convolve, fftconvolve, fftwconv, rfftwconv
295
296       WARNING: "conv1d" processes bad values in its inputs as the numeric
297       value of "$pdl->badvalue" so it is not recommended for processing pdls
298       with bad values in them unless special care is taken.
299
300       conv1d ignores the bad-value flag of the input ndarrays.  It will set
301       the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of
302       the input ndarrays.
303
304   in
305         Signature: (a(); b(n); [o] c())
306
307       test if a is in the set of values b
308
309          $goodmsk = $labels->in($goodlabels);
310          print pdl(3,1,4,6,2)->in(pdl(2,3,3));
311         [1 0 0 0 1]
312
313       "in" is akin to the is an element of of set theory. In principle, PDL
314       broadcasting could be used to achieve its functionality by using a
315       construct like
316
317          $msk = ($labels->dummy(0) == $goodlabels)->orover;
318
319       However, "in" doesn't create a (potentially large) intermediate and is
320       generally faster.
321
322       in does not process bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
323       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
324
325   uniq
326       return all unique elements of an ndarray
327
328       The unique elements are returned in ascending order.
329
330         PDL> p pdl(2,2,2,4,0,-1,6,6)->uniq
331         [-1 0 2 4 6]     # 0 is returned 2nd (sorted order)
332
333         PDL> p pdl(2,2,2,4,nan,-1,6,6)->uniq
334         [-1 2 4 6 nan]   # NaN value is returned at end
335
336       Note: The returned pdl is 1D; any structure of the input ndarray is
337       lost.  "NaN" values are never compare equal to any other values, even
338       themselves.  As a result, they are always unique. "uniq" returns the
339       NaN values at the end of the result ndarray.  This follows the Matlab
340       usage.
341
342       See "uniqind" if you need the indices of the unique elements rather
343       than the values.
344
345       Bad values are not considered unique by uniq and are ignored.
346
347        $x=sequence(10);
348        $x=$x->setbadif($x%3);
349        print $x->uniq;
350        [0 3 6 9]
351
352   uniqind
353       Return the indices of all unique elements of an ndarray The order is in
354       the order of the values to be consistent with uniq. "NaN" values never
355       compare equal with any other value and so are always unique.  This
356       follows the Matlab usage.
357
358         PDL> p pdl(2,2,2,4,0,-1,6,6)->uniqind
359         [5 4 1 3 6]     # the 0 at index 4 is returned 2nd, but...
360
361         PDL> p pdl(2,2,2,4,nan,-1,6,6)->uniqind
362         [5 1 3 6 4]     # ...the NaN at index 4 is returned at end
363
364       Note: The returned pdl is 1D; any structure of the input ndarray is
365       lost.
366
367       See "uniq" if you want the unique values instead of the indices.
368
369       Bad values are not considered unique by uniqind and are ignored.
370
371   uniqvec
372       Return all unique vectors out of a collection
373
374         NOTE: If any vectors in the input ndarray have NaN values
375         they are returned at the end of the non-NaN ones.  This is
376         because, by definition, NaN values never compare equal with
377         any other value.
378
379         NOTE: The current implementation does not sort the vectors
380         containing NaN values.
381
382       The unique vectors are returned in lexicographically sorted ascending
383       order. The 0th dimension of the input PDL is treated as a dimensional
384       index within each vector, and the 1st and any higher dimensions are
385       taken to run across vectors. The return value is always 2D; any
386       structure of the input PDL (beyond using the 0th dimension for vector
387       index) is lost.
388
389       See also "uniq" for a unique list of scalars; and qsortvec for sorting
390       a list of vectors lexicographcally.
391
392       If a vector contains all bad values, it is ignored as in "uniq".  If
393       some of the values are good, it is treated as a normal vector. For
394       example, [1 2 BAD] and [BAD 2 3] could be returned, but [BAD BAD BAD]
395       could not.  Vectors containing BAD values will be returned after any
396       non-NaN and non-BAD containing vectors, followed by the NaN vectors.
397
398   hclip
399         Signature: (a(); b(); [o] c())
400
401       clip (threshold) $a by $b ($b is upper bound)
402
403       hclip processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
404       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
405
406   lclip
407         Signature: (a(); b(); [o] c())
408
409       clip (threshold) $a by $b ($b is lower bound)
410
411       lclip processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
412       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
413
414   clip
415       Clip (threshold) an ndarray by (optional) upper or lower bounds.
416
417        $y = $x->clip(0,3);
418        $c = $x->clip(undef, $x);
419
420       clip handles bad values since it is just a wrapper around "hclip" and
421       "lclip".
422
423   clip
424         Signature: (a(); l(); h(); [o] c())
425
426       info not available
427
428       clip processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
429       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
430
431   wtstat
432         Signature: (a(n); wt(n); avg(); [o]b(); int deg)
433
434       Weighted statistical moment of given degree
435
436       This calculates a weighted statistic over the vector "a".  The formula
437       is
438
439        b() = (sum_i wt_i * (a_i ** degree - avg)) / (sum_i wt_i)
440
441       Bad values are ignored in any calculation; $b will only have its bad
442       flag set if the output contains any bad data.
443
444   statsover
445         Signature: (a(n); w(n); float+ [o]avg(); float+ [o]prms(); int+ [o]median(); int+ [o]min(); int+ [o]max(); float+ [o]adev(); float+ [o]rms())
446
447       Calculate useful statistics over a dimension of an ndarray
448
449         ($mean,$prms,$median,$min,$max,$adev,$rms) = statsover($ndarray, $weights);
450
451       This utility function calculates various useful quantities of an
452       ndarray. These are:
453
454       •  the mean:
455
456            MEAN = sum (x)/ N
457
458          with "N" being the number of elements in x
459
460       •  the population RMS deviation from the mean:
461
462            PRMS = sqrt( sum( (x-mean(x))^2 )/(N-1)
463
464          The population deviation is the best-estimate of the deviation of
465          the population from which a sample is drawn.
466
467       •  the median
468
469          The median is the 50th percentile data value.  Median is found by
470          medover, so WEIGHTING IS IGNORED FOR THE MEDIAN CALCULATION.
471
472       •  the minimum
473
474       •  the maximum
475
476       •  the average absolute deviation:
477
478            AADEV = sum( abs(x-mean(x)) )/N
479
480       •  RMS deviation from the mean:
481
482            RMS = sqrt(sum( (x-mean(x))^2 )/N)
483
484          (also known as the root-mean-square deviation, or the square root of
485          the variance)
486
487       This operator is a projection operator so the calculation will take
488       place over the final dimension. Thus if the input is N-dimensional each
489       returned value will be N-1 dimensional, to calculate the statistics for
490       the entire ndarray either use "clump(-1)" directly on the ndarray or
491       call "stats".
492
493       Bad values are simply ignored in the calculation, effectively reducing
494       the sample size.  If all data are bad then the output data are marked
495       bad.
496
497   stats
498       Calculates useful statistics on an ndarray
499
500        ($mean,$prms,$median,$min,$max,$adev,$rms) = stats($ndarray,[$weights]);
501
502       This utility calculates all the most useful quantities in one call.  It
503       works the same way as "statsover", except that the quantities are
504       calculated considering the entire input PDL as a single sample, rather
505       than as a collection of rows. See "statsover" for definitions of the
506       returned quantities.
507
508       Bad values are handled; if all input values are bad, then all of the
509       output values are flagged bad.
510
511   histogram
512         Signature: (in(n); int+[o] hist(m); double step; double min; int msize => m)
513
514       Calculates a histogram for given stepsize and minimum.
515
516        $h = histogram($data, $step, $min, $numbins);
517        $hist = zeroes $numbins;  # Put histogram in existing ndarray.
518        histogram($data, $hist, $step, $min, $numbins);
519
520       The histogram will contain $numbins bins starting from $min, each $step
521       wide. The value in each bin is the number of values in $data that lie
522       within the bin limits.
523
524       Data below the lower limit is put in the first bin, and data above the
525       upper limit is put in the last bin.
526
527       The output is reset in a different broadcastloop so that you can take a
528       histogram of "$a(10,12)" into "$b(15)" and get the result you want.
529

535       histogram processes bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of all
536       output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
537
538   whistogram
539         Signature: (in(n); float+ wt(n);float+[o] hist(m); double step; double min; int msize => m)

546        whistogram($data, $weights, $hist, $step, $min, $numbins);
547
548       The histogram will contain $numbins bins starting from $min, each $step
549       wide. The value in each bin is the sum of the values in $weights that
550       correspond to values in $data that lie within the bin limits.
551
552       Data below the lower limit is put in the first bin, and data above the
553       upper limit is put in the last bin.
554
555       The output is reset in a different broadcastloop so that you can take a

567
568       Calculates a 2d histogram.
569

574              $nbinx, $stepy, $miny, $nbiny);
575
576       The histogram will contain $nbinx x $nbiny bins, with the lower limits
577       of the first one at "($minx, $miny)", and with bin size "($stepx,
578       $stepy)".  The value in each bin is the number of values in $datax and
579       $datay that lie within the bin limits.

624
625   fibonacci
626         Signature: (i(n); indx [o]x(n))
627
628       Constructor - a vector with Fibonacci's sequence
629
630       fibonacci does not process bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag
631       of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input
632       ndarrays.
633
634   append
635         Signature: (a(n); b(m); [o] c(mn))
636
637       append two ndarrays by concatenating along their first dimensions
638
639        $x = ones(2,4,7);
640        $y = sequence 5;
641        $c = $x->append($y);  # size of $c is now (7,4,7) (a jumbo-ndarray ;)
642
643       "append" appends two ndarrays along their first dimensions. The rest of
644       the dimensions must be compatible in the broadcasting sense. The
645       resulting size of the first dimension is the sum of the sizes of the
646       first dimensions of the two argument ndarrays - i.e. "n + m".
647
648       Similar functions include "glue" (below), which can append more than
649       two ndarrays along an arbitrary dimension, and cat, which can append
650       more than two ndarrays that all have the same sized dimensions.
651
652       append does not process bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of
653       all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
654
655   glue
656         $c = $x->glue(<dim>,$y,...)
657
658       Glue two or more PDLs together along an arbitrary dimension (N-D
659       "append").
660
661       Sticks $x, $y, and all following arguments together along the specified
662       dimension.  All other dimensions must be compatible in the broadcasting
663       sense.
664
665       Glue is permissive, in the sense that every PDL is treated as having an
666       infinite number of trivial dimensions of order 1 -- so "$x->glue(3,$y)"
667       works, even if $x and $y are only one dimensional.
668
669       If one of the PDLs has no elements, it is ignored.  Likewise, if one of
670       them is actually the undefined value, it is treated as if it had no
671       elements.
672
673       If the first parameter is a defined perl scalar rather than a pdl, then
674       it is taken as a dimension along which to glue everything else, so you
675       can say "$cube = PDL::glue(3,@image_list);" if you like.
676
677       "glue" is implemented in pdl, using a combination of xchg and "append".
678       It should probably be updated (one day) to a pure PP function.
679
680       Similar functions include "append" (above), which appends only two
681       ndarrays along their first dimension, and cat, which can append more
682       than two ndarrays that all have the same sized dimensions.
683
684   cmpvec
685         Signature: (a(n); b(n); sbyte [o]c())
686
687       Compare two vectors lexicographically.
688
689       Returns -1 if a is less, 1 if greater, 0 if equal.
690
691       The output is bad if any input values up to the point of inequality are
692       bad - any after are ignored.
693
694   eqvec
695         Signature: (a(n); b(n); sbyte [o]c())
696
697       Compare two vectors, returning 1 if equal, 0 if not equal.
698
699       The output is bad if any input values are bad.
700
701   enumvec
702         Signature: (v(M,N); indx [o]k(N))
703
704       Enumerate a list of vectors with locally unique keys.
705
706       Given a sorted list of vectors $v, generate a vector $k containing
707       locally unique keys for the elements of $v (where an "element" is a
708       vector of length $M ocurring in $v).
709
710       Note that the keys returned in $k are only unique over a run of a
711       single vector in $v, so that each unique vector in $v has at least one
712       0 (zero) index in $k associated with it.  If you need global keys, see
713       enumvecg().

728
729        $k = $v->vsearchvec($v->uniqvec);

744
745        $found   = vsearchvec($find, $which);
746        $nearest = $which->dice_axis(1,$found);
747
748       Returns for each row-vector in $find the index along dimension N of the
749       least row vector of $which greater or equal to it.  $which should be
750       sorted in increasing order.  If the value of $find is larger than any

842
843   setdiff_sorted
844         Signature: (a(NA); b(NB); [o]c(NC); indx [o]nc())
845
846       Set-difference ($a() \ $b()) of two flat sorted unique-valued PDLs.
847
848       Input PDLs $a() and $b() MUST be sorted in lexicographic order and
849       contain no duplicate values.  On return, $nc() holds the actual number
850       of values in the computed vector set.
851
852       In scalar context, reshapes $c() to the actual number of elements in
853       the difference set and returns it.

861   srand
862         Signature: (a())
863
864       Seed random-number generator with a 64-bit int. Will generate seed data
865       for a number of threads equal to the return-value of "online_cpus" in
866       PDL::Core.

874   random
875         Signature: (a())
876
877       Constructor which returns ndarray of random numbers

880        $x = random $y;
881
882       etc (see zeroes).
883
884       This is the uniform distribution between 0 and 1 (assumedly excluding 1
885       itself). The arguments are the same as "zeroes" (q.v.) - i.e. one can
886       specify dimensions, types or give a template.
887
888       You can use the PDL function "srand" to seed the random generator.  If
889       it has not been called yet, it will be with the current time.

903
904       This is the uniform distribution between 0 and 1 (excluding both 0 and
905       1, cf "random"). The arguments are the same as "zeroes" (q.v.) - i.e.

928
929   vsearch
930         Signature: ( vals(); xs(n); [o] indx(); [\%options] )
931
932       Efficiently search for values in a sorted ndarray, returning indices.
933
934         $idx = vsearch( $vals, $x, [\%options] );
935         vsearch( $vals, $x, $idx, [\%options ] );
936
937       vsearch performs a binary search in the ordered ndarray $x, for the
938       values from $vals ndarray, returning indices into $x.  What is a
939       "match", and the meaning of the returned indices, are determined by the
940       options.
941
942       The "mode" option indicates which method of searching to use, and may
943       be one of:
944
945       "sample"
946           invoke vsearch_sample, returning indices appropriate for sampling
947           within a distribution.
948
949       "insert_leftmost"
950           invoke vsearch_insert_leftmost, returning the left-most possible
951           insertion point which still leaves the ndarray sorted.
952
953       "insert_rightmost"
954           invoke vsearch_insert_rightmost, returning the right-most possible
955           insertion point which still leaves the ndarray sorted.
956
957       "match"
958           invoke vsearch_match, returning the index of a matching element,
959           else -(insertion point + 1)
960
961       "bin_inclusive"
962           invoke vsearch_bin_inclusive, returning an index appropriate for
963           binning on a grid where the left bin edges are inclusive of the
964           bin. See below for further explanation of the bin.
965
966       "bin_exclusive"
967           invoke vsearch_bin_exclusive, returning an index appropriate for
968           binning on a grid where the left bin edges are exclusive of the
969           bin. See below for further explanation of the bin.

1029
1030       Search for values in a sorted array, return index appropriate for
1031       sampling from a distribution
1032
1033         $idx = vsearch_sample($vals, $x);
1034
1035       $x must be sorted, but may be in decreasing or increasing order.
1036
1037       vsearch_sample returns an index I for each value V of $vals appropriate
1038       for sampling $vals
1039
1040       I has the following properties:
1041
1042       •   if $x is sorted in increasing order
1043
1044                     V <= x[0]  : I = 0
1045             x[0]  < V <= x[-1] : I s.t. x[I-1] < V <= x[I]
1046             x[-1] < V          : I = $x->nelem -1
1047
1048       •   if $x is sorted in decreasing order
1049
1050                      V > x[0]  : I = 0
1051             x[0]  >= V > x[-1] : I s.t. x[I] >= V > x[I+1]
1052             x[-1] >= V         : I = $x->nelem - 1
1053
1054       If all elements of $x are equal, I = $x->nelem - 1.
1055
1056       If $x contains duplicated elements, I is the index of the leftmost (by
1057       position in array) duplicate if V matches.
1058
1059       This function is useful e.g. when you have a list of probabilities for
1060       events and want to generate indices to events:
1061
1062        $x = pdl(.01,.86,.93,1); # Barnsley IFS probabilities cumulatively
1063        $y = random 20;
1064        $c = vsearch_sample($y, $x); # Now, $c will have the appropriate distr.
1065
1066       It is possible to use the cumusumover function to obtain cumulative
1067       probabilities from absolute probabilities.

1161       matches an element in $x, I is the index of that element, otherwise it
1162       is -( insertion_point + 1 ), where insertion_point is an index in $x

1209   vsearch_bin_exclusive
1210         Signature: (vals(); x(n); indx [o]idx())
1211
1212       Determine the index for values in a sorted array of bins, lower bound
1213       exclusive.
1214
1215         $idx = vsearch_bin_exclusive($vals, $x);
1216
1217       $x must be sorted, but may be in decreasing or increasing order.
1218
1219       $x represents the edges of contiguous bins, with the first and last
1220       elements representing the outer edges of the outer bins, and the inner
1221       elements the shared bin edges.
1222
1223       The lower bound of a bin is exclusive to the bin, its upper bound is
1224       inclusive to it.  vsearch_bin_exclusive returns an index I for each
1225       value V of $vals.
1226
1227       I has the following properties:
1228
1229       •   if $x is sorted in increasing order
1230
1231                      V <= x[0]  : I = -1
1232             x[0]  <  V <= x[-1] : I s.t. x[I] < V <= x[I+1]
1233             x[-1] <  V          : I = $x->nelem - 1
1234
1235       •   if $x is sorted in decreasing order
1236
1237                      V >  x[0]  : I = 0
1238             x[0]  >= V >  x[-1] : I s.t. x[I-1] >= V > x[I]
1239             x[-1] >= V          : I = $x->nelem
1240
1241       If all elements of $x are equal,
1242
1243           i = $x->nelem - 1
1244
1245       If $x contains duplicated elements, I is the index of the righmost (by
1246       index in array) duplicate if V matches.

1250   interpolate
1251         Signature: (xi(); x(n); y(n); [o] yi(); int [o] err())
1252
1253       routine for 1D linear interpolation
1254
1255        ( $yi, $err ) = interpolate($xi, $x, $y)
1256
1257       Given a set of points "($x,$y)", use linear interpolation to find the
1258       values $yi at a set of points $xi.
1259
1260       "interpolate" uses a binary search to find the suspects, er...,
1261       interpolation indices and therefore abscissas (ie $x) have to be
1262       strictly ordered (increasing or decreasing).  For interpolation at lots
1263       of closely spaced abscissas an approach that uses the last index found
1264       as a start for the next search can be faster (compare Numerical Recipes
1265       "hunt" routine). Feel free to implement that on top of the binary
1266       search if you like. For out of bounds values it just does a linear
1267       extrapolation and sets the corresponding element of $err to 1, which is
1268       otherwise 0.
1269
1270       See also "interpol", which uses the same routine, differing only in the
1271       handling of extrapolation - an error message is printed rather than
1272       returning an error ndarray.

1276   interpol
1277        Signature: (xi(); x(n); y(n); [o] yi())
1278
1279       routine for 1D linear interpolation
1280
1281        $yi = interpol($xi, $x, $y)
1282
1283       "interpol" uses the same search method as "interpolate", hence $x must
1284       be strictly ordered (either increasing or decreasing).  The difference
1285       occurs in the handling of out-of-bounds values; here an error message
1286       is printed.
1287
1288   interpND
1289       Interpolate values from an N-D ndarray, with switchable method
1290
1291         $source = 10*xvals(10,10) + yvals(10,10);
1292         $index = pdl([[2.2,3.5],[4.1,5.0]],[[6.0,7.4],[8,9]]);
1293         print $source->interpND( $index );
1294
1295       InterpND acts like indexND, collapsing $index by lookup into $source;
1296       but it does interpolation rather than direct sampling.  The
1297       interpolation method and boundary condition are switchable via an
1298       options hash.
1299
1300       By default, linear or sample interpolation is used, with constant value
1301       outside the boundaries of the source pdl.  No dataflow occurs, because
1302       in general the output is computed rather than indexed.
1303
1304       All the interpolation methods treat the pixels as value-centered, so
1305       the "sample" method will return "$a->(0)" for coordinate values on the
1306       set [-0.5,0.5), and all methods will return "$a->(1)" for a coordinate
1307       value of exactly 1.
1308
1309       Recognized options:
1310
1311       method
1312          Values can be:
1313
1314          •  0, s, sample, Sample (default for integer source types)
1315
1316             The nearest value is taken. Pixels are regarded as centered on
1317             their respective integer coordinates (no offset from the linear
1318             case).
1319
1320          •  1, l, linear, Linear (default for floating point source types)
1321
1322             The values are N-linearly interpolated from an N-dimensional cube
1323             of size 2.
1324
1325          •  3, c, cube, cubic, Cubic
1326
1327             The values are interpolated using a local cubic fit to the data.
1328             The fit is constrained to match the original data and its
1329             derivative at the data points.  The second derivative of the fit
1330             is not continuous at the data points.  Multidimensional datasets
1331             are interpolated by the successive-collapse method.
1332
1333             (Note that the constraint on the first derivative causes a small
1334             amount of ringing around sudden features such as step functions).
1335
1336          •  f, fft, fourier, Fourier
1337
1338             The source is Fourier transformed, and the interpolated values
1339             are explicitly calculated from the coefficients.  The boundary
1340             condition option is ignored -- periodic boundaries are imposed.
1341
1342             If you pass in the option "fft", and it is a list (ARRAY) ref,
1343             then it is a stash for the magnitude and phase of the source FFT.
1344             If the list has two elements then they are taken as already
1345             computed; otherwise they are calculated and put in the stash.
1346
1347       b, bound, boundary, Boundary
1348          This option is passed unmodified into indexND, which is used as the
1349          indexing engine for the interpolation.  Some current allowed values
1350          are 'extend', 'periodic', 'truncate', and 'mirror' (default is
1351          'truncate').
1352
1353       bad
1354          contains the fill value used for 'truncate' boundary.  (default 0)
1355
1356       fft
1357          An array ref whose associated list is used to stash the FFT of the
1358          source data, for the FFT method.

1360   one2nd
1361       Converts a one dimensional index ndarray to a set of ND coordinates
1362
1363        @coords=one2nd($x, $indices)
1364
1365       returns an array of ndarrays containing the ND indexes corresponding to
1366       the one dimensional list indices. The indices are assumed to correspond
1367       to array $x clumped using "clump(-1)". This routine is used in the old
1368       vector form of "whichND", but is useful on its own occasionally.
1369
1370       Returned ndarrays have the indx datatype.  $indices can have values
1371       larger than "$x->nelem" but negative values in $indices will not give
1372       the answer you expect.

1384
1385       Returns indices of non-zero values from a 1-D PDL
1386
1387        $i = which($mask);
1388
1389       returns a pdl with indices for all those elements that are nonzero in
1390       the mask. Note that the returned indices will be 1D. If you feed in a
1391       multidimensional mask, it will be flattened before the indices are
1392       calculated.  See also "whichND" for multidimensional masks.
1393
1394       If you want to index into the original mask or a similar ndarray with
1395       output from "which", remember to flatten it before calling index:
1396
1397         $data = random 5, 5;
1398         $idx = which $data > 0.5; # $idx is now 1D
1399         $bigsum = $data->flat->index($idx)->sum;  # flatten before indexing

1442   where
1443       Use a mask to select values from one or more data PDLs
1444
1445       "where" accepts one or more data ndarrays and a mask ndarray.  It
1446       returns a list of output ndarrays, corresponding to the input data
1447       ndarrays.  Each output ndarray is a 1-dimensional list of values in its
1448       corresponding data ndarray. The values are drawn from locations where
1449       the mask is nonzero.
1450
1451       The output PDLs are still connected to the original data PDLs, for the
1452       purpose of dataflow.
1453
1454       "where" combines the functionality of "which" and index into a single
1455       operation.
1456
1457       BUGS:
1458
1459       While "where" works OK for most N-dimensional cases, it does not
1460       broadcast properly over (for example) the (N+1)th dimension in data
1461       that is compared to an N-dimensional mask.  Use "whereND" for that.
1462
1463        $i = $x->where($x+5 > 0); # $i contains those elements of $x
1464                                  # where mask ($x+5 > 0) is 1
1465        $i .= -5;  # Set those elements (of $x) to -5. Together, these
1466                   # commands clamp $x to a maximum of -5.
1467
1468       It is also possible to use the same mask for several ndarrays with the
1469       same call:
1470
1471        ($i,$j,$k) = where($x,$y,$z, $x+5>0);
1472
1473       Note: $i is always 1-D, even if $x is >1-D.
1474
1475       WARNING: The first argument (the values) and the second argument (the
1476       mask) currently have to have the exact same dimensions (or horrible
1477       things happen). You *cannot* broadcast over a smaller mask, for
1478       example.

1500       "where" with support for ND masks and broadcasting
1501

1503       returns a list of output ndarrays, corresponding to the input data
1504       ndarrays.  The values are drawn from locations where the mask is
1505       nonzero.
1506
1507       "whereND" differs from "where" in that the mask dimensionality is
1508       preserved which allows for proper broadcasting of the selection
1509       operation over higher dimensions.
1510
1511       As with "where" the output PDLs are still connected to the original
1512       data PDLs, for the purpose of dataflow.
1513
1514         $sdata = whereND $data, $mask

1516
1517         where
1518
1519           $data is M dimensional
1520           $mask is N < M dimensional
1521           dims($data) 1..N == dims($mask) 1..N
1522           with broadcasting over N+1 to M dimensions
1523
1524         $data   = sequence(4,3,2);   # example data array
1525         $mask4  = (random(4)>0.5);   # example 1-D mask array, has $n4 true values
1526         $mask43 = (random(4,3)>0.5); # example 2-D mask array, has $n43 true values
1527         $sdat4  = whereND $data, $mask4;   # $sdat4 is a [$n4,3,2] pdl
1528         $sdat43 = whereND $data, $mask43;  # $sdat43 is a [$n43,2] pdl
1529
1530       Just as with "where", you can use the returned value in an assignment.
1531       That means that both of these examples are valid:
1532
1533         # Used to create a new slice stored in $sdat4:
1534         $sdat4 = $data->whereND($mask4);
1535         $sdat4 .= 0;
1536         # Used in lvalue context:

1545
1546       WhichND returns the N-dimensional coordinates of each nonzero value in
1547       a mask PDL with any number of dimensions.  The returned values arrive

1549
1550        $coords = whichND($mask);
1551
1552       returns a PDL containing the coordinates of the elements that are non-
1553       zero in $mask, suitable for use in "indexND" in PDL::Slices. The 0th
1554       dimension contains the full coordinate listing of each point; the 1st
1555       dimension lists all the points.  For example, if $mask has rank 4 and
1556       100 matching elements, then $coords has dimension 4x100.
1557
1558       If no such elements exist, then whichND returns a structured empty PDL:
1559       an Nx0 PDL that contains no values (but matches, broadcasting-wise,
1560       with the vectors that would be produced if such elements existed).
1561
1562       DEPRECATED BEHAVIOR IN LIST CONTEXT:
1563
1564       whichND once delivered different values in list context than in scalar
1565       context, for historical reasons.  In list context, it returned the
1566       coordinates transposed, as a collection of 1-PDLs (one per dimension)
1567       in a list.  This usage is deprecated in PDL 2.4.10, and will cause a
1568       warning to be issued every time it is encountered.  To avoid the
1569       warning, you can set the global variable "$PDL::whichND" to 's' to get
1570       scalar behavior in all contexts, or to 'l' to get list behavior in list
1571       context.
1572
1573       In later versions of PDL, the deprecated behavior will disappear.
1574       Deprecated list context whichND expressions can be replaced with:
1575
1576           @list = $x->whichND->mv(0,-1)->dog;

1588        pdl> $s=sequence(10,10,3,4)
1589        pdl> ($x, $y, $z, $w)=whichND($s == 203); p $x, $y, $z, $w

1594   setops
1595       Implements simple set operations like union and intersection
1596
1597          Usage: $set = setops($x, <OPERATOR>, $y);
1598
1599       The operator can be "OR", "XOR" or "AND". This is then applied to $x
1600       viewed as a set and $y viewed as a set. Set theory says that a set may
1601       not have two or more identical elements, but setops takes care of this
1602       for you, so "$x=pdl(1,1,2)" is OK. The functioning is as follows:
1603
1604       "OR"
1605           The resulting vector will contain the elements that are either in
1606           $x or in $y or both. This is the union in set operation terms
1607
1608       "XOR"
1609           The resulting vector will contain the elements that are either in
1610           $x or $y, but not in both. This is
1611
1612                Union($x, $y) - Intersection($x, $y)
1613
1614           in set operation terms.
1615
1616       "AND"
1617           The resulting vector will contain the intersection of $x and $y, so
1618           the elements that are in both $x and $y. Note that for convenience
1619           this operation is also aliased to "intersect".
1620
1621       It should be emphasized that these routines are used when one or both
1622       of the sets $x, $y are hard to calculate or that you get from a
1623       separate subroutine.
1624
1625       Finally IDL users might be familiar with Craig Markwardt's
1626       "cmset_op.pro" routine which has inspired this routine although it was
1627       written independently However the present routine has a few less
1628       options (but see the examples)
1629
1630       You will very often use these functions on an index vector, so that is
1631       what we will show here. We will in fact something slightly silly. First
1632       we will find all squares that are also cubes below 10000.
1633
1634       Create a sequence vector:
1635
1636         pdl> $x = sequence(10000)
1637
1638       Find all odd and even elements:
1639
1640         pdl> ($even, $odd) = which_both( ($x % 2) == 0)
1641
1642       Find all squares
1643
1644         pdl> $squares= which(ceil(sqrt($x)) == floor(sqrt($x)))
1645
1646       Find all cubes (being careful with roundoff error!)
1647
1648         pdl> $cubes= which(ceil($x**(1.0/3.0)) == floor($x**(1.0/3.0)+1e-6))
1649
1650       Then find all squares that are cubes:
1651
1652         pdl> $both = setops($squares, 'AND', $cubes)
1653
1654       And print these (assumes that "PDL::NiceSlice" is loaded!)
1655
1656         pdl> p $x($both)
1657          [0 1 64 729 4096]
1658
1659       Then find all numbers that are either cubes or squares, but not both:
1660
1661         pdl> $cube_xor_square = setops($squares, 'XOR', $cubes)
1662
1663         pdl> p $cube_xor_square->nelem()
1664          112
1665
1666       So there are a total of 112 of these!
1667
1668       Finally find all odd squares:
1669
1670         pdl> $odd_squares = setops($squares, 'AND', $odd)
1671
1672       Another common occurrence is to want to get all objects that are in $x
1673       and in the complement of $y. But it is almost always best to create the
1674       complement explicitly since the universe that both are taken from is
1675       not known. Thus use "which_both" if possible to keep track of
1676       complements.
1677
1678       If this is impossible the best approach is to make a temporary:
1679
1680       This creates an index vector the size of the universe of the sets and
1681       set all elements in $y to 0
1682
1683         pdl> $tmp = ones($n_universe); $tmp($y) .= 0;
1684
1685       This then finds the complement of $y
1686
1687         pdl> $C_b = which($tmp == 1);
1688
1689       and this does the final selection:
1690
1691         pdl> $set = setops($x, 'AND', $C_b)
1692
1693   intersect
1694       Calculate the intersection of two ndarrays
1695
1696          Usage: $set = intersect($x, $y);
1697
1698       This routine is merely a simple interface to "setops". See that for
1699       more information
1700
1701       Find all numbers less that 100 that are of the form 2*y and 3*x
1702
1703        pdl> $x=sequence(100)
1704        pdl> $factor2 = which( ($x % 2) == 0)
1705        pdl> $factor3 = which( ($x % 3) == 0)
1706        pdl> $ii=intersect($factor2, $factor3)
1707        pdl> p $x($ii)
1708        [0 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 66 72 78 84 90 96]
