# average
|
|
|
|
Calculate the average of a sequence and its error iteratively in a single pass,
|
|
using constant memory and avoiding numerical problems. The calculation can be
|
|
easily parallelized by using `merge`.

## Advantages over naive calculation of average and variance
|
|
|
|
* Avoids loss of precision due to cancellation.
|
|
* Only needs a single pass over the samples, at the cost of a division inside the loop.
