Statistics

Moving Average

Moving averages are often useful in predicting trends in data taken over
a period of time. In moving-average calculations, a specified number of
points is averaged. Each time a new point is acquired, the oldest point
is discarded. Thus, the same number of points is used in each
calculation.
