{{alias}}( [mean] )
|
||
|
Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes an unbiased
|
||
|
sample variance.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated unbiased
|
||
|
sample variance. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns
|
||
|
the current unbiased sample variance.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If provided `NaN` or a value which, when used in computations, results in
|
||
|
`NaN`, the accumulated value is `NaN` for all future invocations.
