    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>

> Compute the cumulative sum of a one-dimensional double-precision floating-point ndarray using pairwise summation.

<section class="intro">

<!-- /.intro -->

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-ndarray-dcusumpw
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var dcusumpw = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-ndarray-dcusumpw' );
```

#### dcusumpw( arrays )

Computes the cumulative sum of a one-dimensional double-precision floating-point ndarray using pairwise summation.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var scalar2ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-from-scalar' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );

var xbuf = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var x = new ndarray( 'float64', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var ybuf = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );
var y = new ndarray( 'float64', ybuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var initial = scalar2ndarray( 0.0, 'float64', 'row-major' );

var v = dcusumpw( [ x, y, initial ] );
// returns <ndarray>[ 1.0, 4.0, 8.0, 10.0 ]

var bool = ( v === y );
// returns true
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **arrays**: array-like object containing a one-dimensional input ndarray, a one-dimensional output ndarray, and a zero-dimensional ndarray containing the initial sum.

</section>

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   If provided an empty one-dimensional input ndarray, the function returns the output ndarray unchanged.
-   In general, pairwise summation is more numerically stable than ordinary recursive summation (i.e., "simple" summation), with slightly worse performance. While not the most numerically stable summation technique (e.g., compensated summation techniques such as the Kahan–Babuška-Neumaier algorithm are generally more numerically stable), pairwise summation strikes a reasonable balance between numerical stability and performance. If either numerical stability or performance is more desirable for your use case, consider alternative summation techniques.

## Examples

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

```javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );
var zerosLike = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like' );
var scalar2ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-from-scalar' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var dcusumpw = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-ndarray-dcusumpw' );

var xbuf = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, {
    'dtype': 'float64'
});
var x = new ndarray( 'float64', xbuf, [ xbuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
console.log( ndarray2array( x ) );

var y = zerosLike( x );
console.log( ndarray2array( y ) );

var initial = scalar2ndarray( 100.0, {
    'dtype': 'float64'
});

var v = dcusumpw( [ x, y, initial ] );
console.log( ndarray2array( v ) );
```
