zoo_smooth_exponential: Exponential Smoothing of Zoo Time Series

Description

Applies exponential smoothing to a zoo time series object, where each value is a weighted average of the current value and past smoothed values. This method is useful for reducing noise in time series data while preserving the general trend.

Usage

zoo_smooth_exponential(x = NULL, alpha = 0.2)

Value

zoo object

Arguments

x

(required, zoo object) time series to smooth Default: NULL

alpha

(required, numeric) Smoothing factor in the range (0, 1]. Determines the weight of the current value relative to past values. A higher value gives more weight to recent observations, while a lower value gives more weight to past observations. Default: 0.2
