> Compute a [sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient][pearson-correlation] incrementally, ignoring `NaN` values.

<section class="intro">

The [Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient][pearson-correlation] between random variables `X` and `Y` is defined as

## Usage

```javascript
var incrnanpcorr = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanpcorr' );
```

#### incrnanpcorr( \[mx, my] )

Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a [sample Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient][pearson-correlation], ignoring `NaN` values.

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanpcorr();
```

If the means are already known, provide `mx` and `my` arguments.

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanpcorr( 3.0, -5.5 );
```

#### accumulator( \[x, y] )

If provided input value `x` and `y`, the accumulator function returns an updated [sample correlation coefficient][pearson-correlation]. If not provided input values `x` and `y`, the accumulator function returns the current [sample correlation coefficient][pearson-correlation].

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanpcorr();

var v = accumulator( 2.0, 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = accumulator( NaN, 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = accumulator( 1.0, -5.0 );
// returns 1.0

v = accumulator( 1.0, NaN );
// returns 1.0

v = accumulator( 3.0, 3.14 );
// returns ~0.965

v = accumulator();
// returns ~0.965
```

</section>

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

- Input values are **not** type checked. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var isnan = require( '@stdlib/math/base/assert/is-nan' );
var incrnanpcorr = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanpcorr' );

var accumulator;
var r;
var x;
var y;
var i;

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

// For each simulated datum, update the sample Pearson correlation coefficient...
console.log( '\nx\ty\tCorrelation Coefficient\n' );
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = ( randu() < 0.2 ) ? NaN : randu()*100.0; // ~20% NaN values assigned to `x`
y = ( randu() < 0.2 ) ? NaN : randu()*100.0; // ~20% NaN values assigned to `y`
r = accumulator( x, y );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
```
