Description
This documentation is still a work in progress. It has omissions, and it probably has errors too. If you see any issues, or have any general feedback, please get in touch.
Decay is a simple function used to propagate signals from the past into the future. It is useful in conjunction with algorithm trading and machine learning functions.
It is typically used the same way as Linear Decay, but decays a bit slower for the same period.
$$edecay_{t} = max(input_{t}, edecay_{t-1} \cdot (1-\frac{1}{period}))$$

Example Usage
Calling From C
/* Example usage of Exponential Decay */
/* Assuming that 'input' is a pre-loaded array of size 'in_size'. */
TI_REAL *inputs[] = {input};
TI_REAL options[] = {5}; /* period */
TI_REAL *outputs[1]; /* edecay */
/* Determine how large the output size is for our options. */
const int out_size = in_size - ti_edecay_start(options);
/* Allocate memory for output. */
outputs[0] = malloc(sizeof(TI_REAL) * out_size); assert(outputs[0] != 0); /* edecay */
/* Run the actual calculation. */
const int ret = ti_edecay(in_size, inputs, options, outputs);
assert(ret == TI_OKAY);
Calling From Lua (with Tulip Chart bindings)
