The f:sqrt() and stdDev() functions of FXSL (Was: Re: RE: [xsl] Creating XPath2 functions:passing a set of nodes, what is the signature construction?)

2006-01-25 22:54:59
There's also an stdDev function (only coded as a template at present) in FXSL.

Here's an example of using it:

When this transformation

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";


 <xsl:import href="../f/stdDev.xsl"/>

 <!-- To be applied on numList.xml -->

 <xsl:output method="text"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:call-template name="stdDev">
     <xsl:with-param name="pNums" select="/*/*"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

is applied on this source.xml

<nums>
  <num>01</num>
  <num>02</num>
  <num>03</num>
  <num>04</num>
  <num>05</num>
  <num>06</num>
  <num>07</num>
  <num>08</num>
  <num>09</num>
  <num>10</num>
</nums>

 the wanted result is produced:

The f:sqrt() function and stdDev templates have been part of FXSL for years.

There's an

  f:sqrt()

function in FXSL.

Its signature:

 <xsl:function name="f:sqrt" as="xs:double">
   <xsl:param name="N"/>
   <xsl:param name="Eps"/>
............................................................
 </xsl:function>

here the first argument is the double to be squared and the second
argument is the desired accuracy (such as 0.0001)

Example of its use:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xmlns:f="http://fxsl.sf.net/";
 exclude-result-prefixes="f"


 <xsl:import href="../f/func-sqrt.xsl"/>

 <!-- To be applied on any source xml.
      This also tests the within() function
 -->

    sqrt(1): <xsl:value-of select="f:sqrt(1, 0.00001)"/>

Thanks, I couldn't find that. On closer examination, it seems the standard 
set of XPath2 functions does not include a square root function. I don't 
feel up to writing my own, so I won't procede with the standard deviation 
function.

You may use occurrence indicator "*" or "+" in <xsl:param>, such as

<xsl:param ... as="xs:double*">

to indicate that a sequence of double is expected.

Subject: [xsl] Creating XPath2 functions:passing a set of nodes, what is
the signature construction?

I am learning XPath2 using Saxon 8.6. I'd like to create a funtion to
compute the standard deviation of the value of a set of nodes. Is there
some special way to construct the signature of the function when the
argument is a set of nodes as opposed to a single node?

I have written a funtion that takes a single node as an argument of type
xs:double. Is there some special way to state that the function will
take a set of nodes of type xs:double, or do I simply state that the
argument will be of type xs:double?
