7       statistical data

VERSION

10       version 3.0800

SYNOPSIS

13         use Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother;
14         my $smoother = Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother->instantiate({
15                  method   => 'exponential',
16                  coeff    => 0.5,
17                  data     => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
18                  samples  => [110, 120, 130, 140, 150],
19           });
20         my @smoothed_data = $smoother->get_smoothed_data();

DESCRIPTION

23       This module provide methods to smooth the trend of a series of
24       statistical data.
25
26       The methods provided are the "Exponential" and the "Weighted
27       Exponential" (see respectively
28       "Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother::Exponential" and
29       "Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother::Weightedexponential" for more
30       details).
31
32       This class is just a factory that will instantiate the object to
33       perform the chosen smoothing algorithm.
34

METHODS

36       Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother->instantiate({});
37            Create a new Smoother object.
38
39            This method require several parameters:
40
41            method
42                 Method used for the smoothing. Allowed values are:
43                 "exponential" and "weightedexponential"
44
45            coeff
46                 Smoothing coefficient. It needs to be in the [0;1] range,
47                 otherwise undef will be reutrned.  0 means that the series is
48                 not smoothed at all, while 1 the series is universally equal
49                 to the initial unsmoothed value.
50
51            data Array ref with the data of the series. At least 2 values are
52                 needed to smooth the series, undef is returned otherwise.
53
54            samples
55                 Array ref with the samples each data value has been built
56                 with. This is an optional parameter since it is not used by
57                 all the smoothing algorithm.
58
59       $smoother->get_smoothing_coeff();
60            Returns the smoothing coefficient.
61
62       $smoother->set_smoothing_coeff(0.5);
63            Set the smoothing coefficient value. It needs to be in the [0;1]
64            range, otherwise undef will be reutrned.
