+ *
+ * This is includes some incremental algorithms for mean and variance calculation
+ *
+ * Derived from the paper: https://fanf2.user.srcf.net/hermes/doc/antiforgery/stats.pdf
+ *
+ * Create a struct and if it's the weighted variant set the w field (weight = 2^k).
+ *
+ * Use mean_and_variance[_weighted]_update() on the struct to update it's state.
+ *
+ * Use the mean_and_variance[_weighted]_get_* functions to calculate the mean and variance, some computation
+ * is deferred to these functions for performance reasons.
+ *
+ * see lib/math/mean_and_variance_test.c for examples of usage.
+ *
+ * DO NOT access the mean and variance fields of the weighted variants directly.
+ * DO NOT change the weight after calling update.
