{{alias}}( α )
|
||
Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes an
|
||
exponentially weighted variance, where α is a smoothing factor between 0 and
|
||
1.
|
||
|
||
If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated variance.
|
||
If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current
|
||
variance.
|
||
|
||
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 )
|
||
0.0
|
||
> v = accumulator( -5.0 )
|
||
12.25
|
||
> v = accumulator()
|
||
