pbdDEMO (version 0.3-1)

mpi_example: MPI Demonstrations

Description

These functions are examples of simple statistics via MPI calls.

Usage

mpi.stat(x.gbd)
mpi.bin(x.gbd, breaks = pi/3 * (-3:3))
mpi.quantile(x.gbd, prob = 0.5)
mpi.ols(y.gbd, X.gbd)

Arguments

x.gbd

gbd a GBD vector.

breaks

a set to break data in groups.

prob

a desired probability for quantile.

y.gbd

a GBD vector.

X.gbd

a GBD matrix.

Value

mpi.stat returns sample mean and sample variance. mpi.bin returns binning counts for the given breaks. mpi.quantile returns a quantile. mpi.ols returns ordinary least square estimates (beta_hat).

Details

x.gbd and y.gbd are vectors with length N.gbd. X.gbd is a matrix with dimension N.gbd * p and exists on all processors. N.gbd may be vary across processors.

For demonstration purpose, these objects should not contains weird values such NA.
