Array-reducing functions

Analytica User GuideMore Array FunctionsArray-reducing functions

An array-reducing function operates across a dimension of an array and returns a result that has one dimension less than the number of dimensions of its input array. When applied to an array of n dimensions, a reducing function produces an array that contains n-1 dimensions. Examples include, Sum(x, i), Product(x,i), Max(x, i), Min(x, i), and others described below. The subscript construct x[i = v] and related subscript and slice functions also reduce arrays by a dimension (see Subscript and slice of a subarray).

The function Sum(x, i) illustrates some properties of reducing functions.
