pandas.ewmcorr¶

pandas.ewmcorr(arg1, arg2, com=None, span=None, halflife=None, min_periods=0, freq=None, time_rule=None)¶

Exponentially-weighted moving correlation

Parameters :

arg1 : Series, DataFrame, or ndarray

arg2 : Series, DataFrame, or ndarray

com : float. optional

Center of mass: $\alpha = 1 / (1 + com)$ ,

span : float, optional

Specify decay in terms of span, $\alpha = 2 / (span + 1)$

halflife : float, optional

Specify decay in terms of halflife, :math: alpha = 1 - exp(log(0.5) / halflife)

min_periods : int, default 0

Number of observations in sample to require (only affects beginning)

freq : None or string alias / date offset object, default=None

Frequency to conform to before computing statistic time_rule is a legacy alias for freq

adjust : boolean, default True

Divide by decaying adjustment factor in beginning periods to account for imbalance in relative weightings (viewing EWMA as a moving average)

Returns :

y : type of input argument

Notes

Either center of mass or span must be specified

EWMA is sometimes specified using a “span” parameter s, we have have that the decay parameter $\alpha$ is related to the span as $\alpha = 2 / (s + 1) = 1 / (1 + c)$

where c is the center of mass. Given a span, the associated center of mass is $c = (s - 1) / 2$

So a “20-day EWMA” would have center 9.5.
