vec-utilities

Rust crate to import high-level statistical utilities on Vec as a trait. For example

• mean
• mode
• median
• range
• standard deviation

and more.

As convention, this crate provides two versions of each function. If prepended by nan_, that function will effectively ignore any NaN in the Vec.

Vec Utilities

vec-utilites is a collection of tools which make working with Vec of floats easier

Motivation

In Rust, since f32 and f64 strictly adhere to the float definition standards, and Rust avoids all unexpected behaviour, working with Vecs of floats can be challenging. For instance, since floats do not implement Ord in Rust (due to NaN) then there is no built in way to get the largest value in a Vec of floats.

This crate offers some "common sense" implementation of common operations

How This Crate is Organised

The crate has the following modules

• filters
• generation
• maths
• running

filters

This is where you can find some ready made filters, for example, removing NaN from the Vec

generation

generation focuses on generating Vecs of floats, typically for the purpose of iteration. For instance, you can find an arange function here

maths

maths contains statistical properties of Vecs - largest and smallest values, means, medians and so on

running

running contains iterators, like running means and running sums
