## Usage
49+
50+
```javascript
51+
var meanpw = require( '@stdlib/stats/meanpw' );
52+
```
53+
54+
#### meanpw( x\[, options] )
55+
56+
Computes the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] along one or more [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions using pairwise summation.
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 = meanpw( 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 floating-point 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 = meanpw( x, {
95+
'dims': [ 0 ]
96+
});
97+
// returns <ndarray>
98+
99+
v = ndarray2array( y );
100+
// returns [ -0.5, 3.0 ]
101+
102+
y = meanpw( x, {
103+
'dims': [ 1 ]
104+
});
105+
// returns <ndarray>
106+
107+
v = ndarray2array( y );
108+
// returns [ 1.5, 1.0 ]
109+
110+
y = meanpw( 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 = meanpw( 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 = meanpw( 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 = meanpw( 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 = meanpw( x, {
172+
'dtype': 'float64'
173+
});
174+
// returns <ndarray>
175+
176+
var dt = String( getDType( y ) );
177+
// returns 'float64'
178+
```
179+
180+
#### meanpw.assign( x, out\[, options] )
181+
182+
Computes the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] along one or more [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions, using pairwise summation, 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 = meanpw.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 a real-valued floating-point or "generic" [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. For the `assign` method, the output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] is allowed to have any supported output [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes].
221+
- 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.
