About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

incrmeanabs2

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]

> Compute an [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of squared absolute values incrementally.

The [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of squared absolute values is defined as

Equation for the arithmetic mean of squared absolute values.

Installation

``bash npm install @stdlib/stats-incr-meanabs2`

`Usage`

`javascript var incrmeanabs2 = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-meanabs2' );`

#### incrmeanabs2()

Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes an [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of squared absolute values.

`javascript var accumulator = incrmeanabs2();`

#### accumulator( \[x] )

If provided an input value x, the accumulator function returns an updated mean. If not provided an input value x, the accumulator function returns the current mean.

`javascript var accumulator = incrmeanabs2();

var m = accumulator( 2.0 ); // returns 4.0

m = accumulator( -1.0 ); // returns 2.5

m = accumulator( -3.0 ); // returns ~4.67

m = accumulator(); // returns ~4.67`

`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 incrmeanabs2 = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-meanabs2' );

var accumulator; var v; var i;

// Initialize an accumulator: accumulator = incrmeanabs2();

// For each simulated datum, update the mean... for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) { v = ( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0; accumulator( v ); } console.log( accumulator() );`

`Notice`

This package is part of [stdlib][stdlib], a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
