Example delta between values ​​using boost :: batteries

Question

I have a data set with N samples (say 13, 16, 17, 20), where each subsequent sample increases by a certain value (3, 1, 3 in this case), and I want to find different statistics for the second sequence.

Samples are timestamps that are collected incrementally (i.e. not all samples are available immediately), so I want to use boost::accumulators::accumulator_setit as if it looks like it would fit the bill.

I want to do something like this:

accumulator_set< double, features< tag::mean > > acc;
...
acc(13);
acc(16);
acc(17);
acc(20);

... BUT sampling of differences instead of actual values.

How can I do this using accumulator_setwithout tracking the last value manually?
