[jira] [Commented] (MAHOUT-630) Small bug in WeightedRunningAverage; add WeightedRunningAverageAndStdDev

Posted by "Ted Dunning (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-630:
------------------------------------

Looks fine.  It uses the less accurate formula for standard deviation, but that isn't a big deal in most applications.

To do better would require adapting Welford's method which would require some thought (which this implementation does not).

There is also the question of progressively accumulating error.  Again, I don't think that the applications of this version
require that be addressed.
