14 * DOC: Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)
16 * These are generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
17 * Averages (EWMA). We keep a structure with the EWMA parameters and a scaled
18 * up internal representation of the average value to prevent rounding errors.
19 * The factor for scaling up and the exponential weight (or decay rate) have to
20 * be specified thru the init fuction. The structure should not be accessed
21 * directly but only thru the helper functions.
24 /**
25 * ewma_init() - Initialize EWMA parameters
26 * @avg: Average structure
27 * @factor: Factor to use for the scaled up internal value. The maximum value
28 * of averages can be ULONG_MAX/(factor*weight). For performance reasons
29 * factor has to be a power of 2.
30 * @weight: Exponential weight, or decay rate. This defines how fast the
31 * influence of older values decreases. For performance reasons weight has
32 * to be a power of 2.
34 * Initialize the EWMA parameters for a given struct ewma @avg.
