     46 ## Usage
     47 
     48 ```javascript
     49 var itermeanabs = require( '@stdlib/stats/iter/meanabs' );
     50 ```
     51 
     52 #### itermeanabs( iterator )
     53 
     54 Computes the [arithmetic mean][arithmetic-mean] of absolute values for all [iterated][mdn-iterator-protocol] values.
     55 
     56 ```javascript
     57 var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array/to-iterator' );
     58 
     59 var arr = array2iterator( [ 1.0, -2.0, -3.0, 4.0 ] );
     60 
     61 var m = itermeanabs( arr );
     62 // returns 2.5
     63 ```

     72 
     73 ## Notes
     74 
     75 -   If an iterated value is non-numeric (including `NaN`), the returned [`iterator`][mdn-iterator-protocol] returns `NaN`. 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.
