Often in the analysis of data, the true population [variance][variance] is not known _a priori_ and must be estimated from a sample drawn from the population distribution. If one attempts to use the formula for the population [variance][variance], the result is biased and yields a **biased sample variance**. To compute an **unbiased sample variance** for a sample of size `n`,

The use of the term `n-1` is commonly referred to as Bessel's correction. Note, however, that applying Bessel's correction can increase the mean squared error between the sample variance and population variance. Depending on the characteristics of the population distribution, other correction factors (e.g., `n-1.5`, `n+1`, etc) can yield better estimators.

## Usage
96+
97+
```javascript
98+
var svariance = require( '@stdlib/stats/strided/svariance' );
99+
```
100+
101+
#### svariance( N, correction, x, strideX )
102+
103+
Computes the [variance][variance] of a single-precision floating-point strided array.
104+
105+
```javascript
106+
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
107+
108+
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
109+
110+
var v = svariance( x.length, 1, x, 1 );
111+
// returns ~4.3333
112+
```
113+
114+
The function has the following parameters:
115+
116+
- **N**: number of indexed elements.
117+
- **correction**: degrees of freedom adjustment. Setting this parameter to a value other than `0` has the effect of adjusting the divisor during the calculation of the [variance][variance] according to `N-c` where `c` corresponds to the provided degrees of freedom adjustment. When computing the [variance][variance] of a population, setting this parameter to `0` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data constituting an entire population). When computing the unbiased sample [variance][variance], setting this parameter to `1` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data sampled from a larger population; this is commonly referred to as Bessel's correction).
118+
- **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
119+
- **strideX**: stride length for `x`.
120+
121+
The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the [variance][variance] of every other element in `x`,
122+
123+
```javascript
124+
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
125+
126+
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
127+
128+
var v = svariance( 4, 1, x, 2 );
129+
// returns 6.25
130+
```
131+
132+
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
133+
134+
<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->
135+
136+
```javascript
137+
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
138+
139+
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
140+
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
141+
142+
var v = svariance( 4, 1, x1, 2 );
143+
// returns 6.25
144+
```
145+
146+
#### svariance.ndarray( N, correction, x, strideX, offsetX )
147+
148+
Computes the [variance][variance] of a single-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.
149+
150+
```javascript
151+
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
152+
153+
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
154+
155+
var v = svariance.ndarray( x.length, 1, x, 1, 0 );
156+
// returns ~4.33333
157+
```
158+
159+
The function has the following additional parameters:
160+
161+
- **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
162+
163+
While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index For example, to calculate the [variance][variance] for every other element in `x` starting from the second element
164+
165+
```javascript
166+
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
167+
168+
var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
169+
170+
var v = svariance.ndarray( 4, 1, x, 2, 1 );
171+
// returns 6.25
172+
```

## Notes
181+
182+
- If `N <= 0`, both functions return `NaN`.
183+
- If `N - c` is less than or equal to `0` (where `c` corresponds to the provided degrees of freedom adjustment), both functions return `NaN`.

### Usage
233+
234+
```c
235+
#include "stdlib/stats/strided/svariance.h"
236+
```
237+
238+
#### stdlib_strided_svariance( N, correction, \*X, strideX )
239+
240+
Computes the [variance][variance] of a single-precision floating-point strided array.
241+
242+
```c
243+
const float x[] = { 1.0f, -2.0f, 2.0f };
244+
245+
float v = stdlib_strided_svariance( 3, 1.0f, x, 1 );
246+
// returns ~4.3333f
247+
```
248+
249+
The function accepts the following arguments:

When computing the [variance][variance] of a population, setting this parameter to `0` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data constituting an entire population). When computing the unbiased sample [variance][variance], setting this parameter to `1` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data sampled from a larger population; this is commonly referred to as Bessel's correction).
253+
- **X**: `[in] float*` input array.
254+
- **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` stride length for `X`.
255+
256+
```c
257+
float stdlib_strided_svariance( const CBLAS_INT N, const float correction, const float *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX );
