add moving average transform #44

Closed CarloLucibello closed 4 years ago

In order to smooth out daily increase series, it would be convenient to add a moving average transform on a window of a few days. I suggest using a 3 or 5 days window as default and possibly allow user to modify the value

Sure. Is the moving average to be overlapping?

That is, if i picked 3 days, would we show:

  1. Avg(day1, day2, day3), Avg(day 2, day3, day4), ...

Or

  1. Avg(day1, day2, day3), Avg(day4, day5, day6)?

Im guessing 1. ?
