* Computes the variance of a strided array using Welford's algorithm.
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
* ## Method
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
* - This implementation uses Welford's algorithm for efficient computation, which can be derived as follows. Let
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
* ```tex
|
|||
|
|
* \begin{align*}
|
|||
|
|
* S_n &= n \sigma_n^2 \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \mu_n)^2 \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= \biggl(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2 \biggr) - n\mu_n^2
|
|||
|
|
* \end{align*}
|
|||
|
|
* ```
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
* Accordingly,
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
* ```tex
|
|||
|
|
* \begin{align*}
|
|||
|
|
* S_n - S_{n-1} &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2 - n\mu_n^2 - \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} x_i^2 + (n-1)\mu_{n-1}^2 \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= x_n^2 - n\mu_n^2 + (n-1)\mu_{n-1}^2 \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= x_n^2 - \mu_{n-1}^2 + n(\mu_{n-1}^2 - \mu_n^2) \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= x_n^2 - \mu_{n-1}^2 + n(\mu_{n-1} - \mu_n)(\mu_{n-1} + \mu_n) \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= x_n^2 - \mu_{n-1}^2 + (\mu_{n-1} - x_n)(\mu_{n-1} + \mu_n) \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= x_n^2 - \mu_{n-1}^2 + \mu_{n-1}^2 - x_n\mu_n - x_n\mu_{n-1} + \mu_n\mu_{n-1} \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= x_n^2 - x_n\mu_n - x_n\mu_{n-1} + \mu_n\mu_{n-1} \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= (x_n - \mu_{n-1})(x_n - \mu_n) \\
|
|||
|
|
* &= S_{n-1} + (x_n - \mu_{n-1})(x_n - \mu_n)
|
|||
|
|
* \end{align*}
|
|||
|
|
* ```
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
* where we use the identity
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
* ```tex
|
|||
|
|
* x_n - \mu_{n-1} = n (\mu_n - \mu_{n-1})
|
|||
|
|
* ```
