+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var groupEntriesBy = require( '@stdlib/array/base/group-entries-by' );
+```
+
+#### groupEntriesBy( x, indicator\[, thisArg] )
+
+Groups element entries according to an indicator function.
+
+```javascript
+function indicator( v ) {
+    return v[ 0 ];
+}
+
+var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];
+
+var out = groupEntriesBy( x, indicator );
+// returns { 'b': [ [ 0, 'beep' ], [ 1, 'boop' ], [ 3, 'bar' ] ], 'f': [ [ 2, 'foo' ] ] }
+```
+
+An `indicator` function is provided the following arguments:
+
+-   **value**: current array element.
+-   **index**: current array element index.
+-   **arr**: input array.
+
+To set the `indicator` function execution context, provide a `thisArg`.
+
+```javascript
+function indicator( v ) {
+    this.count += 1;
+    return v[ 0 ];
+}
+
+var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];
+
+var context = {
+    'count': 0
+};
+var out = groupEntriesBy( x, indicator, context );
+// returns { 'b': [ [ 0, 'beep' ], [ 1, 'boop' ], [ 3, 'bar' ] ], 'f': [ [ 2, 'foo' ] ] }
+
+var cnt = context.count;
+// returns 4
+```

+
+## Notes
+
+-   The value returned by an `indicator` function should be a value which can be serialized as an object key. As a counterexample,
+
+    ```javascript
+    function indicator( v ) {
+        return {};
+    }
+    var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];
+
+    var out = groupEntriesBy( x, indicator );
+    // returns { '[object Object]': [ [ 0, 'beep' ], [ 1, 'boop' ], [ 2, 'foo' ], [ 3, 'bar' ] ] }
+    ```
+
+    while each group identifier is unique, all input array elements resolve to the same group because each group identifier serializes to the same string.

+    // Use the first letter of each element to define groups:

+}
+
+// Define an initial array of values:
+var values = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar', 'woot', 'woot' ];
+
+// Sample from the initial array to generate a random collection:
+var indices = discreteUniform( 100, 0, values.length-1, {
+    'dtype': 'generic'

+{{alias}}( x, indicator[, thisArg] )
+    Groups element entries according to an indicator function.
+
+    When invoked, the indicator function is provided the following arguments:
+
+    - value: current array element.
+    - index: current array element index.
+    - arr: input array.
+
+    The value returned by an indicator function should be a value which can be
+    serialized as an object key.
+
+    If provided an empty array, the function returns an empty object.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    x: ArrayLike
+        Input array.
+
+    indicator: Function
+        Indicator function specifying which group an element in the input array
+        belongs to.
+
+    thisArg: any (optional)
+        Indicator function execution context.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    out: Object
+        Group results.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    > function fcn( v ) { return v[ 0 ]; };
+    > var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];
+    > var out = {{alias}}( x, fcn )
+    { 'b': [ [0,'beep'], [1,'boop'], [3,'bar'] ], 'f': [ [2,'foo'] ] }
