Method: Daru::Vector#initialize

Defined in:
lib/daru/vector.rb

#initialize(source, opts = {}) ⇒ Vector

Create a Vector object.

Arguments

Hash. If Array, a numeric index will be created if not supplied in the options. Specifying more index elements than actual values in source will insert nil into the surplus index elements. When a Hash is specified, the keys of the Hash are taken as the index elements and the corresponding values as the values that populate the vector.

Options

  • :name - Name of the vector

  • :index - Index of the vector

  • :dtype - The underlying data type. Can be :array, :nmatrix or :gsl.

Default :array.

  • :nm_dtype - For NMatrix, the data type of the numbers. See the NMatrix docs for

further information on supported data type.

  • :missing_values - An Array of the values that are to be treated as ‘missing’.

nil is the default missing value.

Usage

vecarr = Daru::Vector.new [1,2,3,4], index: [:a, :e, :i, :o]
vechsh = Daru::Vector.new({a: 1, e: 2, i: 3, o: 4})

Parameters:

  • source (Array, Hash) —

    • Supply elements in the form of an Array or a
