Exponential smoothing and spurious correlation: a note

Pages 76-79 | Published online: 05 Oct 2010

The extent of this depends on the length of lag, the value of the smoothing parameter and the nature of the input process. The most widely-used version of exponential smoothing is the Hodrick-Prescott low-frequency filter.
