Decrease

standard mode | Statistics category

Inputs

  • array (vector_real) - the input array

Outputs

  • decrease (real) - the decrease of the input array

Parameters

  • range (real ∈ (-∞, ∞), default = 1) :

    the range of the input array, used for normalizing the results

Description

This algorithm computes the decrease of an array defined as the linear regression coefficient. The range parameter is used to normalize the result. For a spectral centroid, the range should be equal to Nyquist and for an audio centroid the range should be equal to (audiosize - 1) / samplerate. The size of the input array must be at least two elements for “decrease” to be computed, otherwise an exception is thrown.
