DataCleaner

Library "DataCleaner"
Functions for acquiring outlier levels and acquiring a cleaned version of a series.

outlierLevel(src, len, level) Gets the (standard deviation) outlier level for a given series.
  Parameters:
    src: The series to average and add a multiple of the standard deviation to.
    len: The The number of bars to measure.
    level: The positive or negative multiple of the standard deviation to apply to the average. A positive number will be the upper boundary and a negative number will be the lower boundary.
  Returns: The average of the series plus the multiple of the standard deviation.

cleanUsing(src, result, len, maxDeviation) Returns an array representing the result series with (outliers provided by the source) removed.
  Parameters:
    src: The source series to read from.
    result: The result series.
    len: The maximum size of the resultant array.
    maxDeviation: The positive or negative multiple of the standard deviation to apply to the average. A positive number will be the upper boundary and a negative number will be the lower boundary.
  Returns: An array containing the cleaned series.

clean(src, len, maxDeviation) Returns an array representing the source series with outliers removed.
  Parameters:
    src: The source series to read from.
    len: The maximum size of the resultant array.
    maxDeviation: The positive or negative multiple of the standard deviation to apply to the average. A positive number will be the upper boundary and a negative number will be the lower boundary.
  Returns: An array containing the cleaned series.

outlierLevelAdjusted(src, level, len, maxDeviation) Gets the (standard deviation) outlier level for a given series after a single pass of removing any outliers.
  Parameters:
    src: The series to average and add a multiple of the standard deviation to.
    level: The positive or negative multiple of the standard deviation to apply to the average. A positive number will be the upper boundary and a negative number will be the lower boundary.
    len: The The number of bars to measure.
    maxDeviation: The optional standard deviation level to use when cleaning the series. The default is the value of the provided level.
  Returns: The average of the series plus the multiple of the standard deviation.

Notas de prensa:

Added:
cleanArray(src, maxDeviation) Returns an array representing the source array with outliers removed.
  Parameters:

Notas de prensa:

v3 Bugfix: cleanArray should avoid empty arrays.

Notas de prensa:

v4 Exposes simpler "naOutliers" method.

Added:
naOutliers(src, len, maxDeviation) Returns only values that are within the maximum deviation.
  Parameters:
    src: The series to average and add a multiple of the standard deviation to.
    len: The The number of bars to measure.
    maxDeviation: The positive or negative multiple of the standard deviation to apply to the average. A positive number will be the upper boundary and a negative number will be the lower boundary.

Notas de prensa:

v5 Better doc comments.

Notas de prensa:

v6 Added naOutliersArray for keeping the original array indexes but setting the values to NA when they are outliers.

Added:
naArrayOutliers(src, maxDeviation) Returns an array representing the source array with outliers removed.
  Parameters:
    src: The array to set outliers to N/A.
    maxDeviation: The maximum deviation before considered an outlier.
  Returns: True if there were any outliers; otherwise false.

Notas de prensa:

v7 Added normalize function and improved naOutliers.

Added:
normalize(src, len, maxDeviation, baseline) Returns the source value adjusted by its standard deviation.
  Parameters:
    src: The series to measure.
    len: The number of bars to measure the standard deviation.
    maxDeviation: The maximum deviation before considered an outlier.
    baseline: The value considered to be at center. Typically zero.

Notas de prensa:

v8 Fix normalize funciton.

v9 Major Update:

• Allow for a standard deviation function that returns both the mean and the standard deviation and avoid double calculation.
  
• Expose the option to use WMA instead of SMA when averaging.
  
• Expose the option to use SMA as a smoothing function.
  

Added:
stdev(src)
  Calculates and returns both the mean and the standard deviation.
  Parameters:
    src: The array to use for the calculation.

Deviation
  Contains the mean (average) and the value of the standard deviation.
  Fields:
    mean: The mean (average).
    stdev
