Accumulates elements of an array along the given axis, by setting each element of the result to the reduction of elements along that axis up to and including the current position. May be used to make a cumulative sum, a monotonically increasing sequence, etc.
Usage
Returns
Array.accum(axis, reducer)
Array
Argument
Type
Details
this: array
Array
Array to accumulate.
axis
Integer
Axis along which to perform the accumulation.
reducer
Reducer, default: null
Reducer to accumulate values. Default is SUM, to produce the cumulative sum of each vector along the given axis.
