## Usage
49+
50+
```javascript
51+
var incrnanmmae = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/nanmmae' );
52+
```
53+
54+
#### incrnanmmae( window )
55+
56+
Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a moving [mean absolute error][mean-absolute-error]. The `window` parameter defines the number of values over which to compute the moving [mean absolute error][mean-absolute-error], ignoring `NaN` values.
57+
58+
```javascript
59+
var accumulator = incrnanmmae( 3 );
60+
```
61+
62+
#### accumulator( \[x, y] )
63+
64+
If provided input values `x` and `y`, the accumulator function returns an updated [mean absolute error][mean-absolute-error]. If not provided input values `x` and `y`, the accumulator function returns the current [mean absolute error][mean-absolute-error].
65+
66+
```javascript
67+
var accumulator = incrnanmmae( 3 );
68+
69+
var m = accumulator();
70+
// returns null
71+
72+
// Fill the window...
73+
m = accumulator( 2.0, 3.0 ); // [(2.0,3.0)]
74+
// returns 1.0
75+
76+
m = accumulator( NaN, 2.0 );
77+
// returns 1.0
78+
79+
m = accumulator( -5.0, NaN );
80+
// returns 1.0
81+
82+
m = accumulator( -1.0, 4.0 ); // [(2.0,3.0), (-1.0,4.0)]
83+
// returns 3.0
84+
85+
m = accumulator( 3.0, 9.0 ); // [(2.0,3.0), (-1.0,4.0), (3.0,9.0)]
86+
// returns 4.0
87+
88+
// Window begins sliding...
89+
m = accumulator( -7.0, 3.0 ); // [(-1.0,4.0), (3.0,9.0), (-7.0,3.0)]
90+
// returns 7.0
91+
92+
m = accumulator( -5.0, -3.0 ); // [(3.0,9.0), (-7.0,3.0), (-5.0,-3.0)]
93+
// returns 6.0
94+
95+
m = accumulator();
96+
// returns 6.0
97+

## Notes
106+
107+
- 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.
108+
- As `W` (x,y) pairs 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.
109+
- **Warning**: the [mean absolute error][mean-absolute-error] is scale-dependent and, thus, the measure should **not** be used to make comparisons between datasets having different scales.
