Method Detail

createMovingAverage

public static TimeSeriesCollection createMovingAverage(TimeSeriesCollection source,
                                                       java.lang.String suffix,
                                                       int periodCount,
                                                       int skip)

Creates a new TimeSeriesCollection containing a moving average series for each series in the source collection.

Parameters:

source - the source collection.

suffix - the suffix added to each source series name to create the corresponding moving average series name.

periodCount - the number of periods in the moving average calculation.

skip - the number of initial periods to skip.

Returns:

A collection of moving average time series.

createMovingAverage

public static TimeSeries createMovingAverage(TimeSeries source,
                                             java.lang.String name,
                                             int periodCount,
                                             int skip)

Creates a new TimeSeries containing moving average values for the given series. If the series is empty (contains zero items), the result is an empty series.

Parameters:

source - the source series.

name - the name of the new series.

periodCount - the number of periods used in the average calculation.

skip - the number of initial periods to skip.

Returns:

The moving average series.

createPointMovingAverage

public static TimeSeries createPointMovingAverage(TimeSeries source,
                                                  java.lang.String name,
                                                  int pointCount)

Creates a new TimeSeries containing moving average values for the given series, calculated by number of points (irrespective of the 'age' of those points). If the series is empty (contains zero items), the result is an empty series.

Developed by Benoit Xhenseval (www.ObjectLab.co.uk).

Parameters:

source - the source series.

name - the name of the new series.

pointCount - the number of POINTS used in the average calculation (not periods!)

Returns:

The moving average series.
