{{alias}}( α ) Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes an exponentially weighted mean, where α is a smoothing factor between 0 and 1. If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated mean. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current mean. If provided `NaN` or a value which, when used in computations, results in `NaN`, the accumulated value is `NaN` for all future invocations. Parameters ---------- α: number Smoothing factor (value between 0 and 1). Returns ------- acc: Function Accumulator function. Examples -------- > var accumulator = {{alias}}( 0.5 ); > var v = accumulator() null > v = accumulator( 2.0 ) 2.0 > v = accumulator( -5.0 ) -1.5 > v = accumulator() -1.5 See Also --------
