/**
* Computes the arithmetic mean of a single-precision floating-point strided array using a two-pass error correction algorithm.
*
* ## Method
*
* -   This implementation uses a two-pass approach, as suggested by Neely (1966).

* @param {PositiveInteger} N - number of indexed elements
* @param {Float32Array} x - input array
* @param {integer} stride - stride length
* @returns {number} arithmetic mean

* var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
*
* var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
* var N = x.length;
*
* var v = smeanpn( N, x, 1 );
* // returns ~0.3333
