Functions
void	arm_mean_f32 (float32_t *pSrc, uint32_t blockSize, float32_t *pResult)

void	arm_mean_q15 (q15_t *pSrc, uint32_t blockSize, q15_t *pResult)
	Mean value of a Q15 vector.
void	arm_mean_q31 (q31_t *pSrc, uint32_t blockSize, q31_t *pResult)
	Mean value of a Q31 vector.
void	arm_mean_q7 (q7_t *pSrc, uint32_t blockSize, q7_t *pResult)
	Mean value of a Q7 vector.

Description

Calculates the mean of the input vector. Mean is defined as the average of the elements in the vector. The underlying algorithm is used:

    
 	Result = (pSrc[0] + pSrc[1] + pSrc[2] + ... + pSrc[blockSize-1]) / blockSize;    
 

There are separate functions for floating-point, Q31, Q15, and Q7 data types.

void arm_mean_f32	(	float32_t *	pSrc,
		uint32_t	blockSize,
		float32_t *	pResult
	)

Parameters:

[in]	*pSrc	points to the input vector
[in]	blockSize	length of the input vector
[out]	*pResult	mean value returned here

Returns:

none.

Examples:

void arm_mean_q15	(	q15_t *	pSrc,
		uint32_t	blockSize,
		q15_t *	pResult
	)

Parameters:

[in]	*pSrc	points to the input vector
[in]	blockSize	length of the input vector
[out]	*pResult	mean value returned here

Returns:

none.

Scaling and Overflow Behavior:

The function is implemented using a 32-bit internal accumulator. The input is represented in 1.15 format and is accumulated in a 32-bit accumulator in 17.15 format. There is no risk of internal overflow with this approach, and the full precision of intermediate result is preserved. Finally, the accumulator is saturated and truncated to yield a result of 1.15 format.

void arm_mean_q31	(	q31_t *	pSrc,
		uint32_t	blockSize,
		q31_t *	pResult
	)

Parameters:

[in]	*pSrc	points to the input vector
[in]	blockSize	length of the input vector
[out]	*pResult	mean value returned here

Returns:

none.

Scaling and Overflow Behavior:

The function is implemented using a 64-bit internal accumulator. The input is represented in 1.31 format and is accumulated in a 64-bit accumulator in 33.31 format. There is no risk of internal overflow with this approach, and the full precision of intermediate result is preserved. Finally, the accumulator is truncated to yield a result of 1.31 format.

void arm_mean_q7	(	q7_t *	pSrc,
		uint32_t	blockSize,
		q7_t *	pResult
	)

Parameters:

[in]	*pSrc	points to the input vector
[in]	blockSize	length of the input vector
[out]	*pResult	mean value returned here

Returns:

none.

Scaling and Overflow Behavior:

The function is implemented using a 32-bit internal accumulator. The input is represented in 1.7 format and is accumulated in a 32-bit accumulator in 25.7 format. There is no risk of internal overflow with this approach, and the full precision of intermediate result is preserved. Finally, the accumulator is truncated to yield a result of 1.7 format.
