## Usage
49+
50+
```javascript
51+
var mean = require( '@stdlib/stats/mean' );
52+
```
53+
54+
#### mean( x\[, options] )
55+
56+
Computes the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] along one or more [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions.
57+
58+
```javascript
59+
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
60+
61+
var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, 4.0 ] );
62+
63+
var y = mean( x );
64+
// returns <ndarray>
65+
66+
var v = y.get();
67+
// returns 1.25
68+
```
69+
70+
The function has the following parameters:
71+
72+
- **x**: input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. Must have a real-valued or "generic" [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes].
73+
- **options**: function options (_optional_).
74+
75+
The function accepts the following options:
76+
77+
- **dims**: list of dimensions over which to perform a reduction. If not provided, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
78+
- **dtype**: output ndarray [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. Must be a real-valued or "generic" [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes].
79+
- **keepdims**: boolean indicating whether the reduced dimensions should be included in the returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] as singleton dimensions. Default: `false`.
80+
81+
By default, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To perform a reduction over specific dimensions, provide a `dims` option.
82+
83+
```javascript
84+
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-array' );
85+
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
86+
87+
var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, 4.0 ], {
88+
'shape': [ 2, 2 ],
89+
'order': 'row-major'
90+
});
91+
var v = ndarray2array( x );
92+
// returns [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ -2.0, 4.0 ] ]
93+
94+
var y = mean( x, {
95+
'dims': [ 0 ]
96+
});
97+
// returns <ndarray>
98+
99+
v = ndarray2array( y );
100+
// returns [ -0.5, 3.0 ]
101+
102+
y = mean( x, {
103+
'dims': [ 1 ]
104+
});
105+
// returns <ndarray>
106+
107+
v = ndarray2array( y );
108+
// returns [ 1.5, 1.0 ]
109+
110+
y = mean( x, {
111+
'dims': [ 0, 1 ]
112+
});
113+
// returns <ndarray>
114+
115+
v = y.get();
116+
// returns 1.25
117+
```
118+
119+
By default, the function excludes reduced dimensions from the output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To include the reduced dimensions as singleton dimensions, set the `keepdims` option to `true`.
120+
121+
```javascript
122+
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-array' );
123+
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
124+
125+
var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, 4.0 ], {
126+
'shape': [ 2, 2 ],
127+
'order': 'row-major'
128+
});
129+
130+
var v = ndarray2array( x );
131+
// returns [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ -2.0, 4.0 ] ]
132+
133+
var y = mean( x, {
134+
'dims': [ 0 ],
135+
'keepdims': true
136+
});
137+
// returns <ndarray>
138+
139+
v = ndarray2array( y );
140+
// returns [ [ -0.5, 3.0 ] ]
141+
142+
y = mean( x, {
143+
'dims': [ 1 ],
144+
'keepdims': true
145+
});
146+
// returns <ndarray>
147+
148+
v = ndarray2array( y );
149+
// returns [ [ 1.5 ], [ 1.0 ] ]
150+
151+
y = mean( x, {
152+
'dims': [ 0, 1 ],
153+
'keepdims': true
154+
});
155+
// returns <ndarray>
156+
157+
v = ndarray2array( y );
158+
// returns [ [ 1.25 ] ]
159+
```
160+
161+
By default, the function returns an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having a [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes] determined by the function's output data type [policy][@stdlib/ndarray/output-dtype-policies]. To override the default behavior, set the `dtype` option.
162+
163+
```javascript
164+
var getDType = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/dtype' );
165+
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
166+
167+
var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, 4.0 ], {
168+
'dtype': 'generic'
169+
});
170+
171+
var y = mean( x, {
172+
'dtype': 'float64'
173+
});
174+
// returns <ndarray>
175+
176+
var dt = getDType( y );
177+
// returns 'float64'
178+
```
179+
180+
#### mean.assign( x, out\[, options] )
181+
182+
Computes the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] along one or more [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions and assigns results to a provided output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
183+
184+
```javascript
185+
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
186+
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/zeros' );
187+
188+
var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, 4.0 ] );
189+
var y = zeros( [] );
190+
191+
var out = mean.assign( x, y );
192+
// returns <ndarray>
193+
194+
var v = out.get();
195+
// returns 1.25
196+
197+
var bool = ( out === y );
198+
// returns true
199+
```
200+
201+
The method has the following parameters:
202+
203+
- **x**: input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. Must have a real-valued or generic [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes].
204+
- **out**: output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
205+
- **options**: function options (_optional_).
206+
207+
The method accepts the following options:
208+
209+
- **dims**: list of dimensions over which to perform a reduction. If not provided, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].

## Notes
218+
219+
- Setting the `keepdims` option to `true` can be useful when wanting to ensure that the output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] is [broadcast-compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes] with ndarrays having the same shape as the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
220+
- The output data type [policy][@stdlib/ndarray/output-dtype-policies] only applies to the main function and specifies that, by default, the function must return an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having the same [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes] as the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. For the `assign` method, the output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] is allowed to have any supported output [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes].
