The following range functions reduce the rank of the result, like a scalar index: `min` minimum of values along index `max` maximum of values along index `sum` sum of values along index `avg` average of values along index `rms` root mean square of values along index `ptp` peak-to-peak of values along index `mnx` index at which minimum occurs `mxx` index at which maximum occurs The following functions do not change the rank of the result, like an index range. However, the length of the index is changed as indicated by +1, -1, or 0 (no change): `cum, psum` +1, 0, partial sums of values along index `dif` -1, pairwise differences of adjacent values `zcen` -1, pairwise averages of adjacent values `pcen` +1, pairwise averages of adjacent interior values `uncp` -1, inverse of pcen (point center) operation For example, given a two-dimensional array `x`, `x(min,max)` returns the largest of the smallest elements along the first dimension. To get the smallest of the largest elements along the second dimension, use `x(,max)(min)`.
