The [unbiased sample variance][sample-variance] is defined as

## Usage
44+
45+
```javascript
46+
var incrnanvariance = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanvariance' );
47+
```
48+
49+
#### incrnanvariance( \[mean] )
50+
51+
Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes an [unbiased sample variance][sample-variance], ignoring `NaN` values.
52+
53+
```javascript
54+
var accumulator = incrnanvariance();
55+
```
56+
57+
If the mean is already known, provide a `mean` argument.
58+
59+
```javascript
60+
var accumulator = incrnanvariance( 3.0 );
61+
```
62+
63+
#### accumulator( \[x] )
64+
65+
If provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns an updated [unbiased sample variance][sample-variance]. If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current [unbiased sample variance][sample-variance].
66+
67+
```javascript
68+
var accumulator = incrnanvariance();
69+
70+
var s2 = accumulator( 2.0 );
71+
// returns 0.0
72+
73+
s2 = accumulator( 1.0 ); // ((2-1.5)^2+(1-1.5)^2) / (2-1)
74+
// returns 0.5
75+
76+
s2 = accumulator( 3.0 ); // ((2-2)^2+(1-2)^2+(3-2)^2) / (3-1)
77+
// returns 1.0
78+
79+
s2 = accumulator( NaN );
80+
// returns 1.0
81+
82+
s2 = accumulator();
83+
// returns 1.0
84+
```

## Notes
93+
94+
- Input values are **not** type checked. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.

{{alias}}( [mean] )
3+
Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes an unbiased
4+
sample variance, ignoring `NaN` values.
5+
6+
If provided a value, the accumulator function returns an updated unbiased
7+
sample variance. If not provided a value, the accumulator function returns
8+
the current unbiased sample variance.
