# `EwRms` ## Description `EwRms` calculates the exponentially weighted moving root mean square (RMS), highlighting fluctuations in signal magnitude over time with an emphasis on recent values. ### Parameters One of the following decay parameters is required to calculate `alpha`, where a higher `alpha` value gives recent points more influence: - **`com`**: Center of mass. `alpha = 1 / (1 + com)` - **`span`**: Span. `alpha = 2 / (span + 1)` - **`halflife`**: Half-life. `alpha = 1 - exp(-log(2) / halflife)` - **`alpha`**: Directly specifies the smoothing factor, where `0 < alpha < 1` *NaN handling*: NaN values are ignored in the mean calculation. ### Usage Example and Plot ```{eval-rst} .. plotly:: :include-source: True import numpy as np import plotly.graph_objects as go from plotly.subplots import make_subplots from screamer import EwRms data = np.cumsum(np.random.normal(size=300)) ewrms_data = EwRms(span=20)(data) fig = make_subplots( rows=2, cols=1, shared_xaxes=True, row_heights=[1/2, 1/2], vertical_spacing=0.1 ) fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(y=data, mode='lines', name='Original Data'), row=1, col=1) fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(y=ewrms_data, mode='lines', name='EwRms', line=dict(color='red')), row=2, col=1) fig.update_layout( title="Exponentially Weighted Moving RMS", xaxis_title="Index", yaxis=dict(title="Original Data"), yaxis2=dict(title="EwRms"), margin=dict(l=20, r=20, t=80, b=20), legend=dict(orientation="h", yanchor="bottom", y=1.02, xanchor="right", x=1) ) fig.show() ```
