Class NodeMetrics.Types.EWMA

The exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) approach captures short-term movements in volatility for a conditional volatility forecasting model. By virtue of its alpha, or decay factor, this provides a statistical streaming data model that is exponentially biased towards newer entries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average#Exponential_moving_average

An EWMA only needs the most recent forecast value to be kept, as opposed to a standard moving average model.

Parameter 'alpha' decay factor, sets how quickly the exponential weighting decays for past data compared to new data, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average#Exponential_moving_average

Parameter 'value' the current exponentially weighted moving average, e.g. Y(n - 1), or, the sampled value resulting from the previous smoothing iteration. This value is always used as the previous EWMA to calculate the new EWMA.

GetAlpha(TimeSpan, TimeSpan)

Calculate the alpha (decay factor) used in [[akka.cluster.EWMA]] from specified half-life and interval between observations. Half-life is the interval over which the weights decrease by a factor of two. The relevance of each data sample is halved for every passing half-life duration, i.e. after 4 times the half-life, a data sample’s relevance is reduced to 6% of its original relevance. The initial relevance of a data sample is given by 1 – 0.5 ^ (collect-interval / half-life).

Declaration
public static double GetAlpha(TimeSpan halfLife, TimeSpan collectInterval)
Parameters
Type Name Description
TimeSpan halfLife
TimeSpan collectInterval
Returns
Type Description
double
