## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var incrgmean = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/gmean' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### incrgmean()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a [geometric mean][geometric-mean].
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var accumulator = incrgmean();
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### accumulator( \[x] )
|
||
|
|
||
|
If provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns an updated [geometric mean][geometric-mean]. If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current [geometric mean][geometric-mean].
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var accumulator = incrgmean();
|
||
|
|
||
|
var prod = accumulator( 2.0 );
|
||
|
// returns 2.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
prod = accumulator( 1.0 );
|
||
|
// returns ~1.414
|
||
|
|
||
|
prod = accumulator( 3.0 );
|
||
|
// returns ~1.817
|
||
|
|
||
|
prod = accumulator();
|
||
|
// returns ~1.817
|
||
|
```

## Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Input values are **not** type checked. If provided `NaN` or a value which, when used in computations, results in `NaN`, the accumulated value is `NaN` for **all** future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.

|
|
||
|
var accumulator;

|
||
|
|
||
|
// Initialize an accumulator:
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
// For each simulated value, update the geometric mean...
