Averaging Scheme
Averaging methods for numerical quantities
| Keyword | Parameters | Description |
|---|---|---|
Linear |
– | Each data point has equal weight in the averaging $$ \bar{\chi} = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N \chi_i $$ |
Exponential |
– | Each data point is weighted according to a decreasing exponential scheme $$ \bar{\chi} = \frac{1 - \alpha^N}{1 - \alpha} \sum_{i=1}^N \alpha^i \chi_i $$ where $\alpha$ is the exponential decay factor (default = 0.7) |
