{{alias}}( W[, mean] ) Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving variance-to-mean (VMR). The `W` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving variance-to-mean ratio. If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated moving variance-to-mean ratio. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current moving variance-to-mean ratio. 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 F = accumulator() null > F = accumulator( 2.0 ) 0.0 > F = accumulator( 1.0 ) ~0.33 > F = accumulator( 3.0 ) 0.5 > F = accumulator( 7.0 ) ~2.55 > F = accumulator() ~2.55 See Also --------
