Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

increwvariance

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Compute an exponentially weighted variance incrementally.

An exponentially weighted variance can be defined recursively as

where μ is the exponentially weighted mean.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-incr-ewvariance

Usage

var increwvariance = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-ewvariance' );

increwvariance( alpha )

Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes an exponentially weighted variance, where alpha is a smoothing factor between 0 and 1.

var accumulator = increwvariance( 0.5 );

accumulator( [x] )

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

var accumulator = increwvariance( 0.5 );

var v = accumulator();
// returns null

v = accumulator( 2.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = accumulator( 1.0 );
// returns 0.25

v = accumulator( 3.0 );
// returns 0.6875

v = accumulator();
// returns 0.6875

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

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var increwvariance = require( '@stdlib/stats-incr-ewvariance' );

var accumulator;
var v;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = increwvariance( 0.5 );

// For each simulated datum, update the exponentially weighted variance...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    v = randu() * 100.0;
    accumulator( v );
}
console.log( accumulator() );
