Where is "minimumsBy"?

Data.List.minimumBy :: Foldable t => (a -> a -> Ordering) -> t a -> a

https://www.stackage.org/haddock/lts-12.1/base-4.11.1.0/Data-List.html#v:minimumBy

but there are many cases where that's quite unhelpful. Actually what we
want is more like

minimumsBy :: ... => (a -> a -> Ordering) -> t a -> [a]

There can be many distinct minimizers. For example when I want to get the
collection of the youngest people from [(Age, Person)] I want

minimumsBy (compare `on` fst) [(12, alice), (15, balaji), (12, cho)]

to return

[(12, alice), (12, cho)]

Does "minimumsBy" exist somewhere reasonably standard? Hoogle doesn't throw
up anything obvious

https://www.stackage.org/lts-12.1/hoogle?q=%28a+-%3E+a+-%3E+Ordering%29+-%3E+t+a+-%3E+%5Ba%5D

Thanks,

Re: Where is "minimumsBy"?

Not exactly that, but you can use groupBy fst . sort, then the head of the result list is your "minimumsBy" result.

Re: Where is "minimumsBy"?

Hopefully laziness makes the complexity work out fine. Nonetheless I don't
like relying on laziness for the correct complexity and it would still be
nice to have an explicit version.

Re: Where is "minimumsBy"?

Laziness does not make the complexity work out fine. Sorting is still O(n log n), which isn't needed here.

Re: Where is "minimumsBy"?

Haskell’s sort algorithm is linear complexity when only evaluating the front of the list. See also

https://ro-che.info/articles/2016-04-02-descending-sort-haskell which includes some measurements.

Not just a one-shot function, but you can do it with monoids:

```
import Data.Semigroup (Option(..), Semigroup(..))
import Data.DList

maximumsOn :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> Maybe [a]
maximumsOn f = fmap (toList . elts) . getOption . foldMap (\a -> Option $ Just $ MaxAll (f a) $ pure a)
-- You don't need `Option`s since GHC 8.4

data MaxAll a b = MaxAll { weight :: a, elts :: DList b }
instance Ord a => Semigroup (MaxAll a b) where
MaxAll l ls <> MaxAll r rs =
case compare l r of
EQ -> MaxAll l (ls <> rs)
LT -> MaxAll l rs
GT -> MaxAll r ls
```

It is a rather elementary function:

import Data.Foldable
import Data.Ord

-- Stable version that keeps the input order for elements that are
-- equal. If this were to be a library function, I'd drop the
-- 'reverse' post-processing step, and leave the choice of stability
-- to the caller.
--
minimumsBy :: Foldable t => (a -> a -> Ordering) -> t a -> [a]
minimumsBy cmp xs = reverse $ foldl' acc [] xs
where
acc [] x = [x]
acc mins@(m:_) x = case cmp m x of
LT -> mins
EQ -> x:mins
GT -> [x]

--

Re: Where is "minimumsBy"?

That's exactly the approach I was thinking of. Leaving off the
`reverse` saves some time in cases where it's not required. Of course,
there's also a perfectly reasonable version using foldr', in case the
data structure leans the other way. One variation or another of this
approach should be a decent constant factor faster than partially
sorting the list.

There might be a more formal argument written down somewhere, but the
gist of it should be:

Think of the recursion tree of merge sort; leaves correspond to
singleton lists, internal nodes correspond to merges of two sorted
lists. To determine the minimum element of the merged result you need to
consider only the first elements of both these lists. Hence, every node
can be charged at most O(1) times. Since the tree has size O(n) the
running time is linear.

Re: Where is "minimumsBy"?

In reply to this post by Christian Sternagel

You can read a recent implementation of sortBy at https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/ghc-8.6.1-release/libraries/base/Data/OldList.hs#L943-L970

It often helps to work with a concrete example, such as:

head (sort [5, 4, 6, 3, 7, 1])

Expanding that a bit we get:

head (mergeAll (sequences [5, 4, 6, 3, 7, 1]))

sequences is linear time, it breaks the list up into monotonically increasing sublists (up to n/2 of them) with pairwise comparisons. It doesn't all get evaluated right away, but nothing "interesting" is happening there so let's show it fully evaluated.

head (mergeAll [[4, 5], [3, 6], [1, 7]])

Expanding that we get

head (mergeAll (mergePairs [[4, 5], [3, 6], [1, 7]])))

head (mergeAll (merge [4, 5] [3, 6] : [1, 7] : []))

head (mergeAll (mergePairs (merge [4, 5] [3, 6] : [1, 7] : [])))

head (mergeAll (merge (merge [4, 5] [3, 6]) [1, 7] : [])))

head (merge (merge [4, 5] [3, 6]) [1, 7])

head (merge (3 : merge [4, 5] [6]) [1, 7])

head (1 : merge (3 : merge [4, 5] [6]) [7])

This phase is linear time in the worst case, we only compare the first element of each sublist once to find the least element. Having a constant number of phases that are linear (two in this case) is still linear. It would be linearithmic time if we were to fully evaluate the whole sort, but laziness gets to leave a lot of that work unevaluated.
