# incrgmean
> Compute a [geometric mean][geometric-mean] incrementally.
The [geometric mean][geometric-mean] is defined as the nth root of a product of _n_ numbers.
## Usage
```javascript
var incrgmean = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/gmean' );
```
#### incrgmean()
Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a [geometric mean][geometric-mean].
```javascript
var accumulator = incrgmean();
```
#### accumulator( \[x] )
If provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns an updated [geometric mean][geometric-mean]. If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current [geometric mean][geometric-mean].
```javascript
var accumulator = incrgmean();
var prod = accumulator( 2.0 );
// returns 2.0
prod = accumulator( 1.0 );
// returns ~1.414
prod = accumulator( 3.0 );
// returns ~1.817
prod = accumulator();
// returns ~1.817
```
## Notes
- Input values are **not** type checked. If provided `NaN` or a value which, when used in computations, results in `NaN`, the accumulated value is `NaN` for **all** future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.
## Examples
```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var incrgmean = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/gmean' );
var accumulator;
var v;
var i;
// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrgmean();
// For each simulated value, update the geometric mean...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
v = randu() * 100.0;
accumulator( v );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
