15  * DOC: Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)
16  *
17  * These are generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
18  * Averages (EWMA). We keep a structure with the EWMA parameters and a scaled
19  * up internal representation of the average value to prevent rounding errors.
20  * The factor for scaling up and the exponential weight (or decay rate) have to
21  * be specified thru the init fuction. The structure should not be accessed
22  * directly but only thru the helper functions.
