+ * DOC: Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)

+ * These are generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving

+ * up internal representation of the average value to prevent rounding errors.
+ * The factor for scaling up and the exponential weight (or decay rate) have to
+ * be specified thru the init fuction. The structure should not be accessed
+ * directly but only thru the helper functions.
