     46 ## Usage
     47 
     48 ```javascript
     49 var itercumean = require( '@stdlib/stats/iter/cumean' );
     50 ```
     51 
     52 #### itercumean( iterator )
     53 
     54 Returns an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which iteratively computes a cumulative [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean].
     55 
     56 ```javascript
     57 var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array/to-iterator' );
     58 
     59 var arr = array2iterator( [ 2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -7.0, -5.0 ] );
     60 var it = itercumean( arr );
     61 
     62 var m = it.next().value;
     63 // returns 2.0
     64 
     65 m = it.next().value;
     66 // returns 1.5
     67 
     68 m = it.next().value;
     69 // returns 2.0
     70 
     71 m = it.next().value;
     72 // returns -0.25
     73 
     74 m = it.next().value;
     75 // returns -1.2
     76 ```

     86 ## Notes
     87 
     88 -   If an iterated value is non-numeric (including `NaN`), the function returns `NaN` for **all** future iterations. If non-numeric iterated values are possible, you are advised to provide an [`iterator`][mdn-iterator-protocol] which type checks and handles non-numeric values accordingly.
