Package Exports

@stdlib/utils-tabulate

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/utils-tabulate) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

tabulate

Generate a frequency table.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-tabulate

Usage

var tabulate = require( '@stdlib/utils-tabulate' );

tabulate( collection )

Generates a frequency table.

var arr = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'beep' ];

var out = tabulate( arr );
// returns [ [ 'beep', 2, 0.5 ], [ 'boop', 1, 0.25 ], [ 'foo', 1, 0.25 ] ]

The returned frequency table is an array of arrays. Each sub-array corresponds to a unique value in the input collection and is structured as follows:

0: unique value
1: value count
2: frequency percentage

Notes

A collection may be either an Array, Typed Array, or an array-like Object (excluding strings and functions).

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );
var tabulate = require( '@stdlib/utils-tabulate' );

var vals;
var arr;
var out;
var i;
var j;

vals = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar', 'woot', 'woot' ];

// Generate a random collection...
arr = new Array( 100 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    j = floor( randu()*vals.length );
    arr[ i ] = vals[ j ];
}

// Generate a frequency table:
out = tabulate( arr );
console.log( out );

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
