## Usage

```javascript
var incrwstdev = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/wstdev' );
```

#### incrwstdev()

Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a [weighted sample standard deviation][weighted-sample-stdev].

```javascript
var accumulator = incrwstdev();
```

#### accumulator( \[x, w] )

If provided an input value `x` and a weight `w`, the accumulator function returns an updated weighted sample standard deviation. If not provided any input values, the accumulator function returns the current weighted sample standard deviation.

```javascript
var accumulator = incrwstdev();

var s = accumulator( 2.0, 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

s = accumulator( 3.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~0.471

s = accumulator( 2.0, 0.1 );
// returns ~0.478

s = accumulator();
// returns ~0.478
```

</section>

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

- Input values are **not** type checked. If provided `NaN` or a value which, when used in computations, results in `NaN`, the accumulated value is `NaN` for **all** future invocations. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.

## Examples

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

```javascript
var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/uniform' );
var incrwstdev = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/wstdev' );

var accumulator;
var v;
var w;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrwstdev();

// For each simulated datum, update the weighted sample standard deviation...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
v = uniform( 0.0, 100.0 );
w = uniform( 0.0, 100.0 );
accumulator( v, w );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
```
