NAME
Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother - Base module for smoothing statistical data
VERSION
version 3.0801
SYNOPSIS
use Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother; my $smoother = Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother->instantiate({ method => 'exponential', coeff => 0.5, data => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], samples => [110, 120, 130, 140, 150], }); my @smoothed_data = $smoother->get_smoothed_data();
DESCRIPTION
This module provide methods to smooth the trend of a series of statistical data.
The methods provided are the "Exponential" and the "Weighted Exponential" (see respectively "Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother::Exponential" and "Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother::Weightedexponential" for more details).
This class is just a factory that will instantiate the object to perform the chosen smoothing algorithm.
METHODS
- Statistics::Descriptive::Smoother->instantiate({});
- Create a new Smoother object.
This method require several parameters:
- method
- Method used for the smoothing. Allowed values are: "exponential" and "weightedexponential"
- coeff
- Smoothing coefficient. It needs to be in the [0;1] range, otherwise undef will be reutrned. 0 means that the series is not smoothed at all, while 1 the series is universally equal to the initial unsmoothed value.
- data
- Array ref with the data of the series. At least 2 values are needed to smooth the series, undef is returned otherwise.
- samples
- Array ref with the samples each data value has been built with. This is an optional parameter since it is not used by all the smoothing algorithm.
- $smoother->get_smoothing_coeff();
- Returns the smoothing coefficient.
- $smoother->set_smoothing_coeff(0.5);
- Set the smoothing coefficient value. It needs to be in the [0;1] range, otherwise undef will be reutrned.
