    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/stats-strided-dmaxabssorted
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var dmaxabssorted = require( '@stdlib/stats-strided-dmaxabssorted' );
```

#### dmaxabssorted( N, x, strideX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a sorted double-precision floating-point strided array `x`.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0 ] );
var v = dmaxabssorted( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 3.0

x = new Float64Array( [ -3.0, -2.0, -1.0 ] );
v = dmaxabssorted( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 3.0
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: sorted input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
-   **strideX**: stride length for `x`.

The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the maximum absolute value of every other element in `x`,

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, 3.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );

var v = dmaxabssorted( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 4.0
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var v = dmaxabssorted( 4, x1, 2 );
// returns 4.0
```

#### dmaxabssorted.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a sorted double-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0 ] );
var v = dmaxabssorted.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 3.0
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to calculate the maximum absolute value for every other element in `x` starting from the second element

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );

var v = dmaxabssorted.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 4.0
```

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `NaN`.
-   The input strided array must be sorted in either **strictly** ascending or descending order.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-linspace' );
var dmaxabssorted = require( '@stdlib/stats-strided-dmaxabssorted' );

var options = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var x = linspace( -5.0, 5.0, 10, options );
console.log( x );

var v = dmaxabssorted( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( v );

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/stats/strided/dmaxabssorted.h"
```

#### stdlib_strided_dmaxabssorted( N, \*X, strideX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a sorted double-precision floating-point strided array.

```c
const double x[] = { -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0, -7.0, -8.0 };

double v = stdlib_strided_dmaxabssorted( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 7.0
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
-   **X**: `[in] double*` input array.
-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` stride length for `X`.

```c
double stdlib_strided_dmaxabssorted( const CBLAS_INT N, const double *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX );
```

#### stdlib_strided_dmaxabssorted_ndarray( N, \*X, strideX, offsetX )

Computes the maximum absolute value of a sorted double-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

```c
const double x[] = { -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0, -7.0, -8.0 };

double v = stdlib_strided_dmaxabssorted_ndarray( 4, x, 2, 0 );
// returns 7.0
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
-   **X**: `[in] double*` input array.
-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` stride length for `X`.
-   **offsetX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` starting index for `X`.
