Definitions

In plain terms

It follows the primary adaptive line and is commonly used as a paired output rather than an independent input smoother.

Technical

Implementation parity requires the exact companion recurrence, alpha scaling, seed, readiness, state, missing policy, and precision.

Scope

FAMA is not a generic name for every slow moving average.

Examples

  • A governed lesson uses Following Adaptive Moving Average only with declared inputs, timing, parameters, and edge-case behavior.

Common misconceptions

  • FAMA is not a generic name for every slow moving average.

    Limits: The abstract alone is insufficient for code parity; exact coefficients, state, clamps, and warm-up require a pinned implementation contract.
