{{alias}}( fcn, arrays, dims[, options] ) Performs a reduction over a list of specified dimensions in an input ndarray via a one-dimensional strided array reduction function and assigns results to a provided output ndarray. Each provided "ndarray" should be an object with the following properties: - dtype: data type. - data: data buffer. - shape: dimensions. - strides: stride lengths. - offset: index offset. - order: specifies whether an ndarray is row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style). The output ndarray is expected to have the same dimensions as the non- reduced dimensions of the input ndarray. Any additional ndarray arguments are expected to have the same leading dimensions as the non-reduced dimensions of the input ndarray. When calling the reduction function, any additional ndarray arguments are provided as k-dimensional subarrays, where `k = M - N` with `M` being the number of dimensions in an ndarray argument and `N` being the number of non- reduced dimensions in the input ndarray. For example, if an input ndarray has three dimensions, the number of reduced dimensions is two, and an additional ndarray argument has one dimension, thus matching the number of non-reduced dimensions in the input ndarray, the reduction function is provided a zero-dimensional subarray as an additional ndarray argument. In the same scenario but where an additional ndarray argument has two dimensions, thus exceeding the number of non-reduced dimensions in the input ndarray, the reduction function is provided a one-dimensional subarray as an additional ndarray argument. Parameters ---------- fcn: Function Function which will be applied to a one-dimensional subarray and should reduce the subarray to a single scalar value. The function should have the following signature: fcn( arrays[, options] ) where - arrays: array containing a one-dimensional subarray of the input ndarray and any additional ndarray arguments as subarrays. - options: function options. arrays: ArrayLikeObject Array-like object containing one input ndarray and one output ndarray, followed by any additional ndarray arguments. dims: Array List of dimensions over which to perform a reduction. options: Object (optional) Function options.
