Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving range.
W
parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving range.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.window size
accumulator function
var accumulator = incrmrange( 3 );
var r = accumulator();
// returns null
r = accumulator( 2.0 );
// returns 0.0
r = accumulator( -5.0 );
// returns 7.0
r = accumulator( 3.0 );
// returns 8.0
r = accumulator( 5.0 );
// returns 10.0
r = accumulator();
// returns 10.0
If provided a value, returns an updated range; otherwise, returns the current range.
Notes
NaN
or a value which, when used in computations, results inNaN
, the accumulated value isNaN
for all future invocations.value
