Definitions
In plain terms
It bounds the adaptive coefficient toward a more persistent update when efficiency is low.
Technical
The period-to-alpha convention, allowed parameter ordering, precision, and effective version must be explicit.
Scope
Slow describes the parameter bound, not an independent moving average output.
Formula
Slow SC = 2 / (slow period + 1)SC_s=\frac{2}{n_s+1}| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
n_s | declared slow period | observations |
Output unit: ratio
Examples
- A governed lesson uses Slow Smoothing Constant only with declared inputs, timing, parameters, and edge-case behavior.
Common misconceptions
- Slow describes the parameter bound, not an independent moving average output.
