Moving Average - Smoothed
This study calculates and displays a smoothed moving average of the data specified by the Input Data Input.
Let \(X\) be a random variable denoting the Input Data, and let \(X_i\) be the value of the Input Data at Index \(i\). Let the Length Input be denoted as \(n\). Then we denote the Moving Average - Smoothed at Index \(t\) for the given Inputs as \(SMMA_t(X,n)\), and we compute it for \(t \geq n - 1\) as follows.
\(\displaystyle{SMMA_t(X,n) = \left\{\begin{matrix} SMA_{n - 1}(X,n) & t = n - 1 \\ \frac{n\cdot SMMA_{t - 1}(X,n) - SMMA_{t - 1}(X,n) + X_t}{n} & t > n - 1 \end{matrix}\right .}\)In the above formula, \(SMA_{n - 1}(X,n)\) denotes the Simple Moving Average at \(t = n - 1\).
