# incrnanmstdev

> Compute a moving [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation] incrementally, ignoring NaN values.

<section class="intro">

For a window of size `W`, the [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation] is defined as

```math
s = \sqrt{\frac{1}{W-1} \sum_{i=0}^{W-1} ( x_i - \bar{x} )^2}
```

## Usage

```javascript
var incrnanmstdev = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanmstdev' );
```

#### incrnanmstdev( window\[, mean] )

Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a moving [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation], ignoring `NaN` values. The `window` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation].

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanmstdev( 3 );
```

If the mean is already known, provide a `mean` argument.

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanmstdev( 3, 5.0 );
```

#### accumulator( \[x] )

If provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns an updated [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation]. If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation]. If provided `NaN`, the accumulator function ignores the value and returns the current [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation] without updating the window.

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanmstdev( 3 );

var s = accumulator();
// returns null

// Fill the window with non-NaN values...
s = accumulator( 2.0 ); // [2.0]
// returns 0.0

s = accumulator( NaN ); // [2.0]
// returns 0.0

s = accumulator( 3.0 ); // [2.0, 3.0]
// returns ~0.7071

s = accumulator( 5.0 ); // [2.0, 3.0, 5.0]
// returns ~1.53

// Window begins sliding...
s = accumulator( -7.0 ); // [3.0, 5.0, -7.0]
// returns ~6.43

s = accumulator( NaN ); // [3.0, 5.0, -7.0]
// returns ~6.43

s = accumulator( -5.0 ); // [5.0, -7.0, -5.0]
// returns ~6.43

s = accumulator();
// returns ~6.43
```

<section class="notes">

## Notes

- Input values are **not** type checked. If provided `NaN`, the value is ignored and the accumulator function returns the current [corrected sample standard deviation][standard-deviation] without updating the window. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.
- 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 (excluding NaN values).

## Examples

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

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var incrnanmstdev = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanmstdev' );

var accumulator;
var v;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrnanmstdev( 5 );

// For each simulated datum, update the moving corrected sample standard deviation...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
if ( randu() < 0.2 ) {
v = NaN;
} else {
v = randu() * 100.0;
}
accumulator( v );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
```
