## Usage
79+
80+
```javascript
81+
var incrmvmr = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/mvmr' );
82+
```
83+
84+
#### incrmvmr( window\[, mean] )
85+
86+
Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a moving [variance-to-mean ratio][variance-to-mean-ratio]. The `window` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving [variance-to-mean ratio][variance-to-mean-ratio].
87+
88+
```javascript
89+
var accumulator = incrmvmr( 3 );
90+
```
91+
92+
If the mean is already known, provide a `mean` argument.
93+
94+
```javascript
95+
var accumulator = incrmvmr( 3, 5.0 );
96+
```
97+
98+
#### accumulator( \[x] )
99+
100+
If provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns an updated accumulated value. If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current accumulated value.
101+
102+
```javascript
103+
var accumulator = incrmvmr( 3 );
104+
105+
var F = accumulator();
106+
// returns null
107+
108+
// Fill the window...
109+
F = accumulator( 2.0 ); // [2.0]
110+
// returns 0.0
111+
112+
F = accumulator( 1.0 ); // [2.0, 1.0]
113+
// returns ~0.33
114+
115+
F = accumulator( 3.0 ); // [2.0, 1.0, 3.0]
116+
// returns 0.5
117+
118+
// Window begins sliding...
119+
F = accumulator( 7.0 ); // [1.0, 3.0, 7.0]
120+
// returns ~2.55
121+
122+
F = accumulator( 5.0 ); // [3.0, 7.0, 5.0]
123+
// returns ~0.80
124+
125+
F = accumulator();
126+
// returns ~0.80
127+
```

## Notes
136+
137+
- 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 **at least** `W-1` 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.
138+
139+
- As `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.
140+
141+
- The following table summarizes how to interpret the [variance-to-mean ratio][variance-to-mean-ratio]:
142+
143+
| VMR | Description | Example Distribution |
144+
| :---------------: | :-------------: | :--------------------------: |
145+
| 0 | not dispersed | constant |
146+
| 0 &lt; VMR &lt; 1 | under-dispersed | binomial |
147+
| 1 | -- | Poisson |
148+
| >1 | over-dispersed | geometric, negative-binomial |
149+
150+
Accordingly, one can use the [variance-to-mean ratio][variance-to-mean-ratio] to assess whether observed data can be modeled as a Poisson process. When observed data is "under-dispersed", observed data may be more regular than as would be the case for a Poisson process. When observed data is "over-dispersed", observed data may contain clusters (i.e., clumped, concentrated data).
151+
152+
- The [variance-to-mean ratio][variance-to-mean-ratio] is typically computed on nonnegative values. The measure may lack meaning for data which can assume both positive and negative values.
153+
154+
- The [variance-to-mean ratio][variance-to-mean-ratio] is also known as the **index of dispersion**, **dispersion index**, **coefficient of dispersion**, **relative variance**, and the [**Fano factor**][fano-factor].
