If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current minimum value. 44 45 ```javascript 46 var accumulator = incrmin(); 47 48 var min = accumulator( 2.0 ); 49 // returns 2.0 50 51 min = accumulator( 1.0 ); 52 // returns 1.0 53 54 min = accumulator( 3.0 ); 55 // returns 1.0 56 57 min = accumulator(); 58 // returns 1.0 59 ``` 60 61 </section> 62 63 <!-- /.usage --> 64 65 <section class="notes"> 66 67 ## Notes 68 69 - Input values are **not** type checked. If provided `NaN`, the accumulated value is `NaN` for **all** 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. 70 71 </section> 72 73 <!-- /.notes --> 74 75 <section class="examples"> 76 77 ## Examples 78 79 <!-- eslint no-undef: "error" --> 80 81 ```javascript 82 var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); 83 var incrmin = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/min' ); 84 85 var accumulator; 86 var v; 87 var i; 88 89 // Initialize an accumulator: 90 accumulator = incrmin(); 91 92 // For each simulated datum, update the min... 93 for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) { 94 v = randu() * 100.0; 95 accumulator( v ); 96 } 97 console.log( accumulator() ); 98 ``` 99 100 </section> 101 102 <!-- /.examples --> 103 104 <section class="links"> 105 106 </section> 107 108 <!-- /.links -->
