     24 * Computes the arithmetic mean of a single-precision floating-point strided array, ignoring `NaN` values, using Welford's algorithm with extended accumulation, and returning an extended precision result.
     25 *
     26 * ## Method
     27 *
     28 * -   This implementation uses Welford's algorithm for efficient computation, which can be derived as follows
     29 *
     30 *     ```tex
     31 *     \begin{align*}
     32 *     \mu_n &= \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} x_i \\
     33 *           &= \frac{1}{n} \biggl(x_{n-1} + \sum_{i=0}^{n-2} x_i \biggr) \\
     34 *           &= \frac{1}{n} (x_{n-1} + (n-1)\mu_{n-1}) \\
     35 *           &= \mu_{n-1} + \frac{1}{n} (x_{n-1} - \mu_{n-1})
     36 *     \end{align*}
     37 *     ```
