Definitions
In plain terms
Longer or more persistent smoothing generally reacts more slowly, although exact lag depends on the filter and frequency.
Technical
Lag evaluation must define input, filter, phase or response metric, sample frequency, warm-up, and comparison period.
Scope
Lower lag can come with overshoot or greater noise sensitivity.
Examples
- A governed lesson uses Smoothing Lag only with declared inputs, timing, parameters, and edge-case behavior.
Common misconceptions
- Lower lag can come with overshoot or greater noise sensitivity.
