exp_decay function

Full Information by Exponential Decay

Exponential smoothing twists probabilities by giving relatively more weight to recent observations at an exponential rate.

exp_decay(x, lambda)

## Default S3 method:
exp_decay(x, lambda)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
exp_decay(x, lambda)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
exp_decay(x, lambda)

## S3 method for class 'ts'
exp_decay(x, lambda)

## S3 method for class 'xts'
exp_decay(x, lambda)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
exp_decay(x, lambda)

## S3 method for class 'tbl'
exp_decay(x, lambda)

Arguments

• x: An univariate or a multivariate distribution.
• lambda: A double for the decay parameter.

Returns

A numerical vector of class ffp with the new probabilities distribution.

Details

The half-life is linked with the lambda parameter as follows:

• HL = log(2) / lambda.

For example: log(2) / 0.0166 is approximately 42. So, a parameter lambda of 0.0166 can be associated with a half-life of two-months (21 * 2).

Examples

library(ggplot2)

# long half_life
long_hl <- exp_decay(EuStockMarkets, 0.001)
long_hl
autoplot(long_hl) +
  scale_color_viridis_c()

# short half_life
short_hl <- exp_decay(EuStockMarkets, 0.015)
short_hl
autoplot(short_hl) +
  scale_color_viridis_c()
