Moving average.

The Moving Average is a simple data averaging algorithm. It uses a moving window of elliptic form to search values and averages all data points within the window. Search ellipse can be rotated by specified angle, the center of ellipse located at the grid node. Also the minimum number of data points to average can be set, if there are not enough points in window, the grid node considered empty and will be filled with specified NODATA value.

Mathematically it can be expressed with the formula:

where

- is a resulting value at the grid node,
- is a known value at point ,
- is a total number of points in search ellipse.
