NAME
Math::EWMA - EWMA in object form
SYNOPSIS
use Math::EWMA;
my $ewma = Math::EWMA->new(alpha => $n);
$ewma->ewma($value);
DESCRIPTION
Implements an exponential moving average with a weight of $alpha
in object form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average
new
Create a new EWMA object with alpha $n
.
my $ewma = Math::EWMA->new(alpha => $n);
An alpha value of 2/(N+1) is roughly equivalent to a simple moving average of N periods
ewma
Add value to series and return the current exponential moving average
$ewma->ewma($current);
$current
is the current live value
Returns last_avg
if called with no arguments.
precision
The precision level for decimal places. Defaults to 2.
last_avg
The current value of the EWMA series. If you want to continue a series from a previous time, then pass that value in during object construction:
my $ewma = Math::EWMA->new(alpha => .125, last_avg => 45.754);
