What is moving average filtering?
Moving Average Filter is a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filter smoothing filter used for smoothing the signal from short term overshoots or noisy fluctuations and helps in retaining the true signal representation or retaining sharp step response.
How do you use a moving average filter?
Implementation of MA Filter:
On the Data tab, in the Analysis group, click Data Analysis. Select Moving Average and click OK. Divide the selected values by 2 and Plot a graph. In our case we have set the interval to 8 as the moving average is the average of the previous 7 data points and the current data point.
What is formula of average moving filter?
The difference equation of an exponential moving average filter is very simple: y [ n ] = α x [ n ] + ( 1 − α ) y [ n − 1 ] In this equation, is the current output, y [ n − 1 ] is the previous output, and is the current input; is a number between 0 and 1.
Why use moving average filters?
The moving average is the most common filter in DSP, mainly because it is the easiest digital filter to understand and use. In spite of its simplicity, the moving average filter is optimal for a common task: reducing random noise while retaining a sharp step response.
