Returns 1 if x is monotonically increasing and 0 if not. If x is floating point, safe comparisons are used in the algorithm to determine whether x is monotonically increasing; if x is integer, exact comparison is used. Positional Input Arguments: * x: Rank 1 list, tuple, or Numeric array of any numerical type. Must be greater than 1-element long. Keyword Input Arguments: None. Examples: >>> import Numeric as N >>> from is_monotonic_incr import is_monotonic_incr >>> x = [20., -32., -1., 2., 5., 29.] >>> is_monotonic_incr(x) 0 >>> x = (-32., -1., 2., 5., 29.) >>> is_monotonic_incr(x) 1 >>> x = N.array([4, 6, 7, 9]) >>> is_monotonic_incr(x) 1 Note: Because of the limits of floating point, even safe-compar- isons will not always return the correct answer. Thus, in the first example below, the correct answer is returned, but in the second example, the incorrect answer is returned: >>> x = N.array([1.0000001, 1.0000002, 1.0000003]) >>> is_monotonic_incr(x) 1 >>> x = N.array([1.00000001, 1.00000002, 1.00000003]) >>> is_monotonic_incr(x) 0 """ import MA import Numeric as N from where_close import where_close abs = N.absolute #- Make sure input locally is Numeric type: xN = N.array(x) #- Check rank and array size: if N.rank(xN) != 1: raise ValueError, "is_monotonic_incr: Input not rank 1" if N.size(xN) < 2: raise ValueError, "is_monotonic_incr: Input one element" #- If is monotonically increasing, all elements of tmp should be # positive, and no element of tmp should equal 0: tmp = xN[1:] - xN[0:-1] if MA.maximum( where_close(tmp, 0) ) == 1: return 0 if MA.minimum( where_close(tmp, abs(tmp)) ) == 0: return 0 return 1 #-------------------------- Main: Test Module ------------------------- #- Define additional examples for doctest to use: __test__ = { 'Additional Examples': """ >>> import Numeric as N >>> from is_monotonic_incr import is_monotonic_incr >>> x = [-32., -1., 2., 5., 29.] >>> is_monotonic_incr(x) 1 >>> x = N.array([[1,2,4],[53,3,2]]) >>> is_monotonic_incr(x) Traceback (most recent call last): ...
