{{alias}}( W[, mean] ) Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving coefficient of variation (CV). The `W` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving coefficient of variation. If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated moving coefficient of variation. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current moving coefficient of variation. 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 cv = accumulator() null > cv = accumulator( 2.0 ) 0.0 > cv = accumulator( 1.0 ) ~0.47 > cv = accumulator( 3.0 ) 0.5 > cv = accumulator( 7.0 ) ~0.83 > cv = accumulator() ~0.83 See Also --------
