| 33 | +## Usage |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```javascript |
| 36 | +var gnannsumpw = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/gnannsumpw' ); |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +#### gnannsumpw( N, x, strideX, out, strideOut ) |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Computes the sum of strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using pairwise summation. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```javascript |
| 44 | +var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ]; |
| 45 | +var out = [ 0.0, 0 ]; |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +var v = gnannsumpw( x.length, x, 1, out, 1 ); |
| 48 | +// returns [ 1.0, 3 ] |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +The function has the following parameters: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- **N**: number of indexed elements. |
| 54 | +- **x**: input array. |
| 55 | +- **strideX**: stride length for `x`. |
| 56 | +- **out**: output array whose first element is the sum and whose second element is the number of non-NaN elements. |
| 57 | +- **strideOut**: stride length for `out`. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the sum of every other element in the strided array: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```javascript |
| 62 | +var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, NaN, -7.0, NaN, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]; |
| 63 | +var out = [ 0.0, 0 ]; |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +var v = gnannsumpw( 4, x, 2, out, 1 ); |
| 66 | +// returns [ 5.0, 2 ] |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments --> |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +```javascript |
| 74 | +var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' ); |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] ); |
| 77 | +var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +var out0 = new Float64Array( 4 ); |
| 80 | +var out1 = new Float64Array( out0.buffer, out0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*2 ); // start at 3rd element |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +var v = gnannsumpw( 4, x1, 2, out1, 1 ); |
| 83 | +// returns <Float64Array>[ 5.0, 4 ] |
| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +#### gnannsumpw.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, out, strideOut, offsetOut ) |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Computes the sum of strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using pairwise summation and alternative indexing semantics. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +```javascript |
| 91 | +var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ]; |
| 92 | +var out = [ 0.0, 0 ]; |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +var v = gnannsumpw.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, out, 1, 0 ); |
| 95 | +// returns [ 1.0, 3 ] |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +The function has the following additional parameters: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +- **offsetX**: starting index for `x`. |
| 101 | +- **offsetOut**: starting index for `out`. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to calculate the sum of every other element starting from the second element: |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +```javascript |
| 106 | +var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]; |
| 107 | +var out = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]; |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +var v = gnannsumpw.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1, out, 2, 1 ); |
| 110 | +// returns [ 0.0, 5.0, 0.0, 4.0 ] |
| 111 | +``` |

| 119 | +## Notes |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +- If `N <= 0`, both functions return a sum equal to `0.0`. |
| 122 | +- In general, pairwise summation is more numerically stable than ordinary recursive summation (i.e., "simple" summation), with slightly worse performance. While not the most numerically stable summation technique (e.g., compensated summation techniques such as the Kahan–Babuška-Neumaier algorithm are generally more numerically stable), pairwise summation strikes a reasonable balance between numerical stability and performance. If either numerical stability or performance is more desirable for your use case, consider alternative summation techniques. |
| 123 | +- 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]). |
| 124 | +- Depending on the environment, the typed versions ([`dnannsumpw`][@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dnannsumpw], [`snannsumpw`][@stdlib/blas/ext/base/snannsumpw], etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant. |
