## Usage
```javascript
var incrnansum = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nansum' );
```
#### incrnansum()
Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a sum, ignoring `NaN` values.
```javascript
var accumulator = incrnansum();
```
#### accumulator( \[x] )
If provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns an updated sum. If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current sum.
```javascript
var accumulator = incrnansum();
var sum = accumulator( 2.0 );
// returns 2.0
sum = accumulator( 1.0 );
// returns 3.0
sum = accumulator( NaN );
// returns 3.0
sum = accumulator( 3.0 );
// returns 6.0
sum = accumulator();
// returns 6.0
```

<section class="notes">
## Notes
- Input values are **not** type checked. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.
- For long running accumulations or accumulations of large numbers, care should be taken to prevent overflow.

## Examples
<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->
```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var incrnansum = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nansum' );
var accumulator;
var v;
var i;
// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrnansum();
// For each simulated datum, update the sum...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
if ( randu() < 0.2 ) {
v = NaN;
} else {
v = randu() * 100.0;
}
accumulator( v );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
