{{alias}}( W ) Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving statistical summary. The `W` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving statistical summary. If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated moving statistical summary. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current moving statistical summary. The returned summary is an object containing the following fields: - window: window size. - sum: sum. - mean: arithmetic mean. - variance: unbiased sample variance. - stdev: corrected sample standard deviation. - min: minimum value. - max: maximum value. - range: range. - midrange: arithmetic mean of the minimum and maximum values. As `W` values are needed to fill the window buffer, the first `W-1` returned summaries are calculated from smaller sample sizes. Until the window is full, each returned summary is calculated from all provided values. Parameters ---------- W: integer Window size. Returns ------- acc: Function Accumulator function. Examples -------- > var accumulator = {{alias}}( 3 ); > var s = accumulator() {} > s = accumulator( 2.0 ) {...} > s = accumulator( -5.0 ) {...} > s = accumulator() {...} See Also --------
