Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving mean directional accuracy.
W
parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving mean directional accuracy.W
(f,a) pairs 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.window size
accumulator function
var accumulator = incrmmda( 3 );
var m = accumulator();
// returns null
m = accumulator( 2.0, 3.0 );
// returns 1.0
m = accumulator( 5.0, 2.0 );
// returns 0.5
m = accumulator( 3.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~0.33
m = accumulator( 4.0, 5.0 );
// returns ~0.33
m = accumulator();
// returns ~0.33
If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated mean directional accuracy. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns the current mean directional accuracy.
Notes
NaN
or a value which, when used in computations, results inNaN
, the accumulated value isNaN
for all future invocations.forecast value
