Moving Average Charts

A Moving Average chart gives a good representation of batch processes by letting you examine the influence of prior data points on a current sample. It allows you to smooth data, normalizing the effects that an out-of-control spike will have on a data set by averaging two or more consecutive data points.

Note: Data brushing is not available on a Moving Average chart
