Moving Average

Created: Jan 3, 2019 07:56 AM  |  Last Modified: Jan 3, 2019 4:59 AM (22844 views)

I have a table called drugs with columns drug and result, how do I calculate the moving average of the result column by taking the first 4 rows followed by the next 4 rows and similarly continue. Pfa the sample table for reference.

Create a new column in your data table, and apply the folloing formula

Col Moving Average( :Result, weighting = 1, before = 3, :Drug )

JMP's support documentation gives some additional background for how the formula may be defined (defines the arguments and also includes some nice little examples):  https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/16.2/#page/jmp/statistical-functions-2.shtml#

You can find in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average) more on first principles and mathematical/ conceptual understanding behind the Moving Average Calculation:
