A simple moving average is a method for computing an average of a stream of numbers by only averaging the last P numbers from the stream, where P is known as the period. It can be implemented by calling an initialing routine with P as its argument, I(P), which should then return a routine that when called with individual, successive members of a stream of numbers, computes the mean of (up to), the last P of them, lets call this SMA(). |
