baybe.utils.numerical.closest_element(array: _SupportsArray[dtype[Any]] | _NestedSequence[_SupportsArray[dtype[Any]]] | bool | int | float | complex | str | bytes | _NestedSequence[bool | int | float | complex | str | bytes], target: float)

Find the element of an array that is closest to a target value.

Parameters:

• array (Union[_SupportsArray[dtype[Any]], _NestedSequence[_SupportsArray[dtype[Any]]], bool, int, float, complex, str, bytes, _NestedSequence[Union[bool, int, float, complex, str, bytes]]]) – The array in which the closest value is to be found.

• target (float) – The target value.

Return type:

float

Returns:

The closest element.
