Moving Average

Moving Average, also called Running Average or Rolling Average, is used to smooth data automatically. Each data point is converted to an average of the previous X values and the post Y values to create a new smoothed value for display on a graph.  Moving averages are used when the general trend is of greater interest then every spike and bump.

The Vista Data Vision software allows you to easily create custom moving averages, such as day moving average or hour moving average.
