/**
* Computes the arithmetic mean of a double-precision floating-point strided array using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm.
*
* ## Method
*
* -   This implementation uses an "improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm", as described by Neumaier (1974).
*
* ## References

*
* @param {PositiveInteger} N - number of indexed elements
* @param {Float64Array} x - input array
* @param {integer} stride - stride length
* @returns {number} arithmetic mean
*
* @example
* var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
*
* var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
* var N = x.length;
*
* var v = dmeankbn( N, x, 1 );
* // returns ~0.3333
