    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-base-cumaxabs
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var cumaxabs = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-cumaxabs' );
```

#### cumaxabs( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Computes the cumulative maximum absolute value of a strided array.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

cumaxabs( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0 ]
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Array`][mdn-array] or [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array].
-   **strideX**: stride length for `x`.
-   **y**: output [`Array`][mdn-array] or [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array].
-   **strideY**: stride length for `y`.

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

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

var v = cumaxabs( 4, x, 2, y, 1 );
// y => [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
```

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' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( x0.length );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

cumaxabs( 4, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 0.0 ]
```

#### cumaxabs.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Computes the cumulative maximum absolute value of a strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

cumaxabs.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0 ]
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

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

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, offset parameters support indexing semantics based on a starting indices. For example, to calculate the cumulative maximum absolute value of every other value in `x` starting from the second value and to store in the last `N` elements of `y` starting from the last element

```javascript
var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

cumaxabs.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 4.0, 2.0, 2.0, 1.0 ]
```

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `y` unchanged.
-   Depending on the environment, the typed versions ([`dcumaxabs`][@stdlib/stats/strided/dcumaxabs], [`scumaxabs`][@stdlib/stats/strided/scumaxabs], etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant.
-   Both functions support array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access (e.g., [`@stdlib/array-base/accessor`][@stdlib/array/base/accessor]).

## Examples

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

```javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var cumaxabs = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-cumaxabs' );

var x = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 100, {
    'dtype': 'float64'
});
var y = new Float64Array( x.length );
console.log( x );
console.log( y );

cumaxabs( x.length, x, 1, y, -1 );
console.log( y );
```
