kernels.minmax_combine_1d(
    values,
    *,
    mask=None,
    combine,
    n_min=1,
    n_max=1,
    validate=True,
)

Reject the n_min smallest and n_max largest unmasked values at each pixel. Single-pass (1-D output-only variant).

Parameters

values : (ndarray, shape(N)): One-dimensional value vector. Accepted dtypes are uint8, uint16, int16, int32, float32, and float64. Integer inputs are promoted to the package’s floating workspace when validate is True.
mask : ndarray of bool = None: Input mask; True means already masked. Must have shape (N,).
combine : str: Output combine method evaluated after rejection. Fused combine kernels support "mean", "average", "avg", "median", and "med".
n_min : int or float = 1: Number of minimum-side values to reject at each pixel. Values >= 1 are treated as a frame count. Values in [0, 1) are treated as a fraction of the total frame count N and converted via int(N * n_min + 0.001), matching IRAF’s internal fraction arithmetic.
n_max : int or float = 1: Same convention as n_min, applied to the maximum-side tail.
validate : bool = True: If True, check dimensionality and normalize dtype/contiguity before entering the Rust kernel. If False, callers must provide inputs that satisfy the compiled kernel assumptions.

combined : scalar: Mean or median of the surviving values after applying the input mask, finite-value filtering, and this rejection algorithm.
