{{alias}}( W ) Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving arithmetic mean. The `W` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving mean. If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated moving mean. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current moving mean. 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. Returns ------- acc: Function Accumulator function. Examples -------- > var accumulator = {{alias}}( 3 ); > var mu = accumulator() null > mu = accumulator( 2.0 ) 2.0 > mu = accumulator( -5.0 ) -1.5 > mu = accumulator( 3.0 ) 0.0 > mu = accumulator( 5.0 ) 1.0 > mu = accumulator() 1.0 See Also --------
