    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>

#### unaryReduceStrided1d( fcn, arrays, dims\[, options] )

Performs a reduction over a list of specified dimensions in an input ndarray via a one-dimensional strided array reduction function which accepts an output [`struct`][@stdlib/dstructs/struct] object and assigns results to a provided output ndarray.

<!-- eslint-disable max-len -->

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-to-array' );
var Float64Results = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-ztest-one-sample-results-float64' );
var structFactory = require( '@stdlib/array-struct-factory' );
var ztest = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-ndarray-ztest' );

var ResultsArray = structFactory( Float64Results );

// Create data buffers:
var xbuf = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );
var ybuf = new ResultsArray( 3 );

// Define the array shapes:
var xsh = [ 1, 3, 2, 2 ];
var ysh = [ 1, 3 ];

// Define the array strides:
var sx = [ 12, 4, 2, 1 ];
var sy = [ 3, 1 ];

// Define the index offsets:
var ox = 0;
var oy = 0;

// Create an input ndarray-like object:
var x = {
    'dtype': 'float64',
    'data': xbuf,
    'shape': xsh,
    'strides': sx,
    'offset': ox,
    'order': 'row-major'
};

// Create an output ndarray-like object:
var y = {
    'dtype': Float64Results,
    'data': ybuf,
    'shape': ysh,
    'strides': sy,
    'offset': oy,
    'order': 'row-major'
};

// Create additional parameter ndarray-like objects:
var alternative = {
    'dtype': 'generic',
    'data': [ 'two-sided' ],
    'shape': ysh,
    'strides': [ 0, 0 ],
    'offset': 0,
    'order': 'row-major'
};
var alpha = {
    'dtype': 'float64',
    'data': [ 0.05 ],
    'shape': ysh,
    'strides': [ 0, 0 ],
    'offset': 0,
    'order': 'row-major'
};
var mu = {
    'dtype': 'float64',
    'data': [ 0.0 ],
    'shape': ysh,
    'strides': [ 0, 0 ],
    'offset': 0,
    'order': 'row-major'
};
var sigma = {
    'dtype': 'float64',
    'data': [ 1.0 ],
    'shape': ysh,
    'strides': [ 0, 0 ],
    'offset': 0,
    'order': 'row-major'
};

// Perform a reduction:
unaryReduceStrided1d( ztest, [ x, y, alternative, alpha, mu, sigma ], [ 2, 3 ] );

var arr = ndarray2array( y.data, y.shape, y.strides, y.offset, y.order );
// returns [ [ <Float64Results>, <Float64Results>, <Float64Results> ] ]
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **fcn**: function which will be applied to a one-dimensional subarray and should store reduction results in an output [`struct`][@stdlib/dstructs/struct] object.
-   **arrays**: array-like object containing one input ndarray and one output ndarray, followed by any additional ndarray arguments.
-   **dims**: list of dimensions over which to perform a reduction.
-   **options**: function options which are passed through to `fcn` (_optional_).

Each provided ndarray should be an object with the following properties:

-   **dtype**: data type.
-   **data**: data buffer.
-   **shape**: dimensions.
-   **strides**: stride lengths.
-   **offset**: index offset.
-   **order**: specifies whether an ndarray is row-major (C-style) or column major (Fortran-style).

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   The output ndarray and any additional ndarray arguments are expected to have the same dimensions as the non-reduced dimensions of the input ndarray. When calling the reduction function, any additional ndarray arguments are provided as zero-dimensional ndarray-like objects.

-   The reduction function is expected to have the following signature:

    ```text
    fcn( arrays[, options] )
    ```

    where

    -   **arrays**: array containing a one-dimensional subarray of the input ndarray, a zero-dimensional subarray of the output ndarray containing the output [`struct`][@stdlib/dstructs/struct] object, and any additional ndarray arguments as zero-dimensional ndarrays.
    -   **options**: function options (_optional_).

-   For very high-dimensional ndarrays which are non-contiguous, one should consider copying the underlying data to contiguous memory before performing a reduction in order to achieve better performance.
