+# maxabs
+
+> Calculate the maximum absolute value of a strided array.
+
+<section class="intro">
+
+</section>
+
+<!-- /.intro -->
+
+<section class="usage">
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var maxabs = require( '@stdlib/stats/strided/maxabs' );
+```
+
+#### maxabs( N, x, strideX )
+
+Computes the maximum absolute value of a strided array `x`.
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];
+
+var v = maxabs( x.length, x, 1 );
+// returns 2.0
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
+-   **x**: input [`Array`][mdn-array] or [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array].
+-   **strideX**: stride length for `x`.
+
+The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the maximum absolute value of every other element in `x`,
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ];
+
+var v = maxabs( 4, x, 2 );
+// returns 4.0
+```
+
+Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
+
+<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
+var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
+
+var v = maxabs( 4, x1, 2 );
+// returns 4.0
+```
+
+#### maxabs.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX )
+
+Computes the maximum absolute value of a strided array using alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];
+
+var v = maxabs.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
+// returns 2.0
+```
+
+The function has the following additional parameters:
+
+-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
+
+While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to calculate the maximum absolute value for every other element in `x` starting from the second element
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
+
+var v = maxabs.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
+// returns 4.0
+```

+
+<!-- /.usage -->
+
+<section class="notes">
+
+## Notes
+
+-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `NaN`.
+-   Both functions support array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access (e.g., [`@stdlib/array/base/accessor`][@stdlib/array/base/accessor]).
+-   Depending on the environment, the typed versions ([`dmaxabs`][@stdlib/stats/strided/dmaxabs], [`smaxabs`][@stdlib/stats/strided/smaxabs], etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant.
