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