## Usage

```javascript
var incrnanmcv = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanmcv' );
```

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

Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a moving [coefficient of variation][coefficient-of-variation]. The `window` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving [coefficient of variation][coefficient-of-variation].

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

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

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

#### accumulator( \[x] )

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

```javascript
var incrnanmcv = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanmcv' );

// Create an accumulator with a window size of 3:
var accumulator = incrnanmcv( 3 );

var cv = accumulator();
// returns null

// Fill the window (ignores NaN)...
cv = accumulator( 2.0 ); // [2.0]
// returns 0.0

cv = accumulator( NaN ); // still [2.0]
// returns 0.0 (NaN ignored, window unchanged)

cv = accumulator( 3.0 ); // [2.0, 3.0]
// returns ~0.28

cv = accumulator( 1.0 ); // [2.0, 3.0, 1.0]
// returns ~0.50

// Window begins sliding only when valid number is added...
cv = accumulator( NaN ); // still [2.0, 3.0, 1.0]
// returns ~0.50 (no change)

cv = accumulator( 7.0 ); // [3.0, 1.0, 7.0]
// returns ~0.83

cv = accumulator( 5.0 ); // [1.0, 7.0, 5.0]
// returns ~0.71

cv = accumulator( NaN ); // still [1.0, 7.0, 5.0]
// returns ~0.71

cv = accumulator();
// returns ~0.71
```

## Notes

- Input values are not type checked. If provided a `NaN` value, the window remains same and the value is ignored and does not affect the accumulated result. Computations are performed only over valid numeric inputs currently within the moving window. If all window values are `NaN` (or if no valid numeric values have been provided), the accumulated value is `NaN`. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle them accordingly before passing values 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.
- The [coefficient of variation][coefficient-of-variation] is typically computed on nonnegative values. The measure may lack meaning for data which can assume both positive and negative values.
- For small and moderately sized samples, the accumulated value tends to be too low and is thus a **biased** estimator. Provided the generating distribution is known (e.g., a normal distribution), you may want to adjust the accumulated value or use an alternative implementation providing an unbiased estimator.

## Examples

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

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

var accumulator;
var v;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator with window size 5:
accumulator = incrnanmcv( 5 );

// For each simulated datum, update the moving coefficient of variation...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
// Introduce NaN values randomly:
if ( randu() < 0.2 ) {
v = NaN;
} else {
v = randu() * 100.0;
}
accumulator( v );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
```
