{{alias}}( [mean] ) Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a corrected sample standard deviation. If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated corrected sample standard deviation. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current corrected sample standard deviation. If provided `NaN` or a value which, when used in computations, results in `NaN`, the accumulated value is `NaN` for all future invocations. Parameters ---------- mean: number (optional) Known mean. Returns ------- acc: Function Accumulator function. Examples -------- > var accumulator = {{alias}}(); > var s = accumulator() null > s = accumulator( 2.0 ) 0.0 > s = accumulator( -5.0 ) ~4.95 > s = accumulator() ~4.95 See Also --------
