ewm.py contains functions and classes for exponential weighted moving stream operations.

class tensortrade.feed.api.float.window.ewm.EWM(com: float = None, span: float = None, halflife: float = None, alpha: float = None, min_periods: int = 0, adjust: bool = True, ignore_na: bool = False)[source]

Provide exponential weighted (EW) functions.

Exactly one parameter: com, span, halflife, or alpha must be provided.

Parameters: com (float, optional) – Specify decay in terms of center of mass, $$\alpha = 1 / (1 + com)$$, for $$com \geq 0$$. span (float, optional) – Specify decay in terms of span, $$\alpha = 2 / (span + 1)$$, for $$span \geq 1$$. halflife (float, str, timedelta, optional) – Specify decay in terms of half-life, $$\alpha = 1 - \exp\left(-\ln(2) / halflife\right)$$, for $$halflife > 0$$. If times is specified, the time unit (str or timedelta) over which an observation decays to half its value. Only applicable to mean() and halflife value will not apply to the other functions. alpha (float, optional) – Specify smoothing factor $$\alpha$$ directly, $$0 < \alpha \leq 1$$. min_periods (int, default 0) – Minimum number of observations in window required to have a value (otherwise result is NA). adjust (bool, default True) – Divide by decaying adjustment factor in beginning periods to account for imbalance in relative weightings (viewing EWMA as a moving average). - When adjust=True (default), the EW function is calculated using weights $$w_i = (1 - \alpha)^i$$. For example, the EW moving average of the series [$$x_0, x_1, ..., x_t$$] would be: $y_t = \frac{x_t + (1 - \alpha)x_{t-1} + (1 - \alpha)^2 x_{t-2} + ... + (1 - \alpha)^t x_0}{1 + (1 - \alpha) + (1 - \alpha)^2 + ... + (1 - \alpha)^t}$ When adjust=False, the exponentially weighted function is calculated recursively: $\begin{split}\begin{split} y_0 &= x_0\\ y_t &= (1 - \alpha) y_{t-1} + \alpha x_t, \end{split}\end{split}$ ignore_na (bool, default False) – Ignore missing values when calculating weights. - When ignore_na=False (default), weights are based on absolute positions. - When ignore_na=True, weights are based on relative positions.
