have a code:
//e = 1/2*Sum((yi -di)^2)
let error y d =
let map =
Array.map2 (fun y d -> (y - d) ** 2.0) y d
let sum =
Array.sum map
(sum / 2.0)
let error2 y d =
Array.map2 (fun y d -> (y - d) ** 2.0) y d
|> Array.sum
|> (/) 2.0
as i understood those functions should produce the same results, but there are a big difference in the results. Can anyone explain this?
p.s. Simplified example:
let test = [|1..10|]
let res = test
|> Array.sum
|> (/) 5
i expect test = 11 (sum(1..10) = 55 and then 55 / 5) but after Array.sum pipeline is not working as i want(as result test = 0).
The /
operator does not work the way you have assumed. You just need to be a bit more explicit and change the last line in error2 to
fun t -> t/2.0
and then it should all work.
The answers being out by a factor of 4 was the giveaway here.
EDIT: To understand what happens with /
here consider what happens when you expand out |>
The following are all equivalent
a |> (/) b
((/) b) a //by removing |>
a / b //what happens when / is reinterpreted as a function
