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();
21
23 This module implement the exponential smoothing algorithm to smooth the
24 trend of a series of statistical data.
25
26 This algorithm works well for unsmoothed data build with big number of
27 samples. If this is not the case you might consider using the "Weighted
28 Exponential" one.
29
30 The algorithm implements the following formula:
31
32 S(0) = X(0)
33
34 S(t) = C*S(t-1) + (1-C)*X(t)
35
36 where:
37
38 • t = index in the series
39
40 • S(t) = smoothed series value at position t
41
42 • C = smoothing coefficient. Value in the [0;1] range. 0 means that
43 the series is not smoothed at all, while 1 the series is universally
44 equal to the initial unsmoothed value.
45
46 • X(t) = unsmoothed series value at position t
47
49 $stats->get_smoothed_data();
50 Returns a copy of the smoothed data array.
