/**
* Computes the standard deviation of a strided array using a one-pass trial mean algorithm.
*
* @param {PositiveInteger} N - number of indexed elements
* @param {number} correction - degrees of freedom adjustment
* @param {NumericArray} x - input array
* @param {integer} stride - stride length
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} offset - starting index
* @returns {number} standard deviation
*
* @example
* var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );
*
* var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
* var N = floor( x.length / 2 );
*
* var v = stdevch( N, 1, x, 2, 1 );
* // returns 2.5
