An implementation of B.P. Welford's algorithm to maintain a running variance over a stream of observations.

This code is based on a John D Cook's blogpost.

Example usage

s := stats.NewSink()
s.Push(-1.1813782)
s.Push(-0.2449577)
s.Push(0.8799429)

fmt.Printf("Mean = %v\n", s.Mean()) // -0.182131...
fmt.Printf("Standard Deviation = %v\n", s.StandardDeviation()) // 1.032095...

Todos

• Add a method that returns the running median.
• Make the implementation multi-goroutine safe.
