{{alias}}( W )
|
|
Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving mid-
|
|
range.
|
|
|
|
The mid-range is the arithmetic mean of maximum and minimum values.
|
|
Accordingly, the mid-range is the midpoint of the range and a measure of
|
|
central tendency.
|
|
|
|
The `W` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute
|
|
the moving mid-range.
|
|
|
|
If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated moving mid-
|
|
range. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current
|
|
moving mid-range.
|
|
|
|
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.

acc: Function
|

Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
> var accumulator = {{alias}}( 3 );
|
|
> var mr = accumulator()
|
|
null
|
|
> mr = accumulator( 2.0 )
|
|
2.0
|
|
> mr = accumulator( -5.0 )
|
|
-1.5
|
|
> mr = accumulator( 3.0 )
|
|
-1.0
|
|
> mr = accumulator( 5.0 )
|
|
0.0
|
|
> mr = accumulator()
|
|
