{{alias}}( W[, mean] ) Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving corrected sample standard deviation. The `W` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving corrected sample standard deviation. If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated moving corrected sample standard deviation. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current moving corrected sample standard deviation. As `W` values are needed to fill the window buffer, the first `W-1` returned values are calculated from smaller sample sizes. Until the window is full, each returned value is calculated from all provided values. Parameters ---------- W: integer Window size. mean: number (optional) Known mean. Returns ------- acc: Function Accumulator function. Examples -------- > var accumulator = {{alias}}( 3 ); > var s = accumulator() null > s = accumulator( 2.0 ) 0.0 > s = accumulator( -5.0 ) ~4.95 > s = accumulator( 3.0 ) ~4.36 > s = accumulator( 5.0 ) ~5.29 > s = accumulator() ~5.29 See Also --------
