ewmStd(X, [com], [span], [halfLife], [alpha], [minPeriods=0], [adjust=true], [ignoreNA=false], [bias=false])

Calculate exponentially weighted moving standard deviation.

Exactly one of the parameters com, span, halfLife and alpha must be specified.

X is a numeric vector.

com (optional) is a non-negative floating number and specifies decay in terms of center of mass. alpha=1/(1+com) where alpha is the decay factor.

span (optional) is a positive floating number larger than 1 and specifies decay in terms of span. alpha=2/(span+1).

halfLife (optional) is a positive floating number and specifies decay in terms of half-life. alpha=1-exp(log(0.5)/halfLife).

alpha (optional) is a floating number between 0 and 1 and directly specifies decay.

minPeriods (optional) is an integer indicating the minimum number of observations in window required to have a value (otherwise result is NULL). The default value is 0.

ignoreNA (optional) is a Boolean value indicating whether to ignore missing values. The defaut value is false.

other (optional) is a numeric vector of the same length as X.

bias (optional) is a Boolean value indicating whether the result is biased. The default value is false, meaning the bias is corrected.
