stdlib-js / array-base-mskfilter

Return a new array by applying a mask to a provided input array.

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!

mskfilter

Apply a mask to a provided input array.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-base-mskfilter

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var mskfilter = require( '@stdlib/array-base-mskfilter' );

mskfilter( x, mask )

Returns a new array by applying a mask to a provided input array.

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var y = mskfilter( x, [ 0, 1, 0, 1 ] );
// returns [ 2, 4 ]

The function supports the following parameters:

• x: input array.
• mask: mask array.

The function always returns a new "generic" array.

mskfilter.assign( x, mask, out, stride, offset )

Applies a mask to a provided input array and assigns unmasked values to elements in a provided output array.

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var mask = [ 0, 1, 0, 1 ];

var out = [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ];

var arr = mskfilter.assign( x, mask, out, -2, out.length-1 );
// returns [ 0, 4, 0, 2 ]

var bool = ( arr === out );
// returns true

The function supports the following parameters:

• x: input array.
• mask: mask array.
• out: output array.
• stride: output array stride.
• offset: output array offset.

Notes

• If a mask array element is truthy, the corresponding element in x is included in the output array; otherwise, the corresponding element in x is "masked" and thus excluded from the output array.

Examples

var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var bernoulli = require( '@stdlib/random-array-bernoulli' );
var mskfilter = require( '@stdlib/array-base-mskfilter' );

// Generate a linearly spaced array:
var x = zeroTo( 20 );
console.log( x );

// Generate a random mask:
var mask = bernoulli( x.length, 0.5, {
    'dtype': 'generic'
});
console.log( mask );

// Filter an array using the mask:
var y = mskfilter( x, mask );
console.log( y );
