    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>

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url] <!-- [![dependencies][dependencies-image]][dependencies-url] -->

> Calculate the [mid-range][mid-range] of a single-precision floating-point strided array according to a mask, ignoring `NaN` values.

<section class="intro">

The [**mid-range**][mid-range], or **mid-extreme**, is the arithmetic mean of the maximum and minimum values in a data set.

</section>

<!-- /.intro -->

<section class="installation">

## Installation

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

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

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

#### snanmskmidrange( N, x, strideX, mask, strideMask )

Computes the [mid-range][mid-range] of a single-precision floating-point strided array according to a `mask`, ignoring `NaN` values.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 4.0, 2.0, NaN ] );
var mask = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 0 ] );

var v = snanmskmidrange( x.length, x, 1, mask, 1 );
// returns 0.0
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
-   **strideX**: stride length for `x`.
-   **mask**: mask [`Uint8Array`][@stdlib/array/uint8]. If a `mask` array element is `0`, the corresponding element in `x` is considered valid and **included** in computation. If a `mask` array element is `1`, the corresponding element in `x` is considered invalid/missing and **excluded** from computation.
-   **strideMask**: stride length for `mask`.

The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the [mid-range][mid-range] of every other element in `x`,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 4.0, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var mask = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ] );

var v = snanmskmidrange( 4, x, 2, mask, 2 );
// returns -1.5
```

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

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

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );

var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var mask0 = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ] );
var mask1 = new Uint8Array( mask0.buffer, mask0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var v = snanmskmidrange( 4, x1, 2, mask1, 2 );
// returns 1.0
```

#### snanmskmidrange.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, mask, strideMask, offsetMask )

Computes the [mid-range][mid-range] of a single-precision floating-point strided array according to a `mask`, ignoring `NaN` values and using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 4.0, 2.0, NaN ] );
var mask = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 0 ] );

var v = snanmskmidrange.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, mask, 1, 0 );
// returns 0.0
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

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

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to calculate the [mid-range][mid-range] for every other element in `x` starting from the second element

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var mask = new Uint8Array( [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 ] );

var v = snanmskmidrange.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1, mask, 2, 1 );
// returns 1.0
```

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `NaN`.

### Usage

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

#### stdlib_strided_snanmskmidrange( N, \*X, strideX, \*Mask, strideMask )

Computes the [mid-range][mid-range] of a single-precision floating-point strided array according to a `mask`, ignoring `NaN` values.

```c
#include <stdint.h>

const float x[] = { 1.0f, -2.0f, 4.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f/0.0f };
const uint8_t mask[] = { 0, 0, 1, 0, 0 };

float v = stdlib_strided_snanmskmidrange( 5, x, 1, mask, 1 );
// returns 0.0f
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

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