+#### stdlib_strided_dnanvariancepn( N, correction, \*X, strideX )
+
+Computes the [variance][variance] of a double-precision floating-point strided array ignoring `NaN` values and using a two-pass algorithm.
+
+```c
+const double x[] = { 1.0, -2.0, 0.0/0.0, 2.0 };
+
+double v = stdlib_strided_dnanvariancepn( 4, 1.0, x, 1 );
+// returns ~4.3333
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
+-   **correction**: `[in] double` degrees of freedom adjustment. Setting this parameter to a value other than `0` has the effect of adjusting the divisor during the calculation of the [variance][variance] according to `n-c` where `c` corresponds to the provided degrees of freedom adjustment and `n` corresponds to the number of non-`NaN` indexed elements.

+-   **X**: `[in] double*` input array.
+-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` stride length for `X`.
