Computing a Moving Average

Posted by Rick Kossik

GoldSim allows you to compute and display average outputs of any variable you are simulating.  For example, if you were using a daily timestep, you could compute monthly or annual values using a feature in GoldSim called reporting periods. These are defined in the Simulation Settings.

In some cases, however, you may want to compute a different kind of average – a moving average. For example, at any point in the simulation, you might want to reference the average value of a variable over the previous 10 days. GoldSim provides an easy way to do this.
