NAME
       PDL::Ufunc - primitive ufunc operations for pdl

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

SYNOPSIS
	use PDL::Ufunc;

FUNCTIONS
       prodover

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

       Project via product to N-1 dimensions

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

       By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

	$a = prodover($b);

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

       dprodover

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

       Project via product to N-1 dimensions

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

       By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

	$a = dprodover($b);

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

       Unlike prodover, the calculations are performed in double precision.

       cumuprodover

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

       Cumulative product

       This function calculates the cumulative product along the 1st
       dimension.

       By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

       The sum is started so that the first element in the cumulative product
       is the first element of the parameter.

	$a = cumuprodover($b);

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

       is the first element of the parameter.

	$a = cumuprodover($b);

       The sum is started so that the first element in the cumulative sum is
       the first element of the parameter.

	$a = cumusumover($b);

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

       Unlike cumusumover, the calculations are performed in double precision.

       orover

	$a = intover($b);

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

       Notes:

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

       average

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

       Project via average to N-1 dimensions

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

       By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

	$a = average($b);

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

       daverage

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

       Project via average to N-1 dimensions

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

       By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

	$a = daverage($b);

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

       Unlike average, the calculation is performed in double precision.

       medover

	 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 xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

	$a = medover($b);

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

       oddmedover

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

       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 xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

	$a = oddmedover($b);

	$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.

       pctover

	 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 (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.

       By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

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

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

       oddpctover

	 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.

       By using xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

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

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

       pct

       Return the specified percentile of all elements in a piddle. The
       specified percentile (p) must be between 0.0 and 1.0.  When the
       specified percentile falls between data points, the result is
       interpolated.

	$x = pct($data, $pct);

       oddpct

       Return the specified percentile of all elements in a piddle. The
       specified percentile must be between 0.0 and 1.0.  When the specified

       dsum

       Return the sum (in double precision) of all elements in a piddle

	$x = dsum($data);

       dprod

	$x = dprod($data);

       zcheck

       any

       Return true if any element in piddle set

       Useful in conditional expressions:

	if (any $a>15) { print "some values are greater than 15\n" }

       all

       Return true if all elements in piddle set

       Useful in conditional expressions:

	if (all $a>15) { print "all values are greater than 15\n" }

       minmax

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

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

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

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

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

       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.

	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]
	]

       minimum

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

       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 xchg etc. it is possible to use any dimension.

	$a = minimum($b);

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

       minimum_ind

       minmaximum

	 Signature: (a(n); [o]cmin(); [o] cmax(); int [o]cmin_ind(); int [o]cmax_ind())

       Find minimum and maximum and their indices for a given piddle;

	perldl> $a=pdl [[-2,3,4],[1,0,3]]
	perldl> ($min, $max, $min_ind, $max_ind)=minmaximum($a)
	perldl> p $min, $max, $min_ind, $max_ind
