+

+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var minsorted = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/minsorted' );
+```
+
+#### minsorted( arrays )
+
+Computes the minimum value of a sorted one-dimensional ndarray.
+
+```javascript
+var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor' );
+
+var xbuf = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
+var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
+
+var v = minsorted( [ x ] );
+// returns 1.0
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **arrays**: array-like object containing a one-dimensional input ndarray.
+
+</section>
+
+<!-- /.usage -->
+
+<section class="notes">
+
+## Notes
+
+-   If provided an empty one-dimensional ndarray, the function returns `NaN`.
+-   The input ndarray must be sorted in either ascending or descending order.
+
+</section>
+
+<!-- /.notes -->
+
+<section class="examples">
+
+## Examples
+
+<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->
+
+```javascript
+var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/discrete-uniform' );
+var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor' );
+var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-array' );
+var minsorted = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/minsorted' );
+
+// Define a comparison function for sorting in ascending order:
+function ascending( a, b ) {
+    return a - b;
+}
+
+var xbuf = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, {
+    'dtype': 'generic'
+});
+
+// Sort the array:
+xbuf.sort( ascending );
+
+var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ xbuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
