`math`

Look up math.avg, math.min, math.max, and math.derivative, the running statistics of the Arc math module.

The math module gives running statistics and rates of change of a numeric value. Import it with import math. All math functions are flow functions: a function body cannot call them.

avg, min, and max share these parameters:

durationi64 ns = 0: Start again when this much time has passed, measured on input timestamps.
counti64 = 0: Start again on the next input after this many values.
resetbool = false: Has no effect in text mode, which cannot wire an input to it.

With duration and count at 0, the value covers every input since the stage started. A window starts again with the input that ends the old window. Synnax reads duration and count once, when the automation starts.

`avg`

Gives the average of all input values since the window started.

Input -> a numeric value.
Output -> one value for each input batch, of the same type as the input. It has the timestamp of the last value in the batch. It is not a moving average.
Runs -> on each new input. Its window starts again when its stage starts.

import math

tank_pt -> math.avg{duration=5s} -> tank_pt_avg

An integer input gives an integer average, rounded toward zero. On the Core, the sum uses the input type, so it can overflow and loses precision. Use a float input. A Driver sums in f64.

`derivative`

Gives the rate of change of the input, in units per second.

Input -> a numeric value.
Output -> one f64 value for each input value, with the same timestamp. The rate is the change from the previous value, divided by the time between their timestamps.
Runs -> on each new input. The first value, and a value with a timestamp that is not later than the one before it, give 0. It starts again when its stage starts.

derivative has no parameters.

import math

tank_pt -> math.derivative{} -> tank_pt_rate

`max`

Gives the largest input value since the window started.

Input -> a numeric value.
Output -> one value for each input batch, of the same type as the input.
Runs -> on each new input. Its window starts again when its stage starts.

import math

tank_pt -> math.max{} -> tank_pt_max

`min`

Gives the smallest input value since the window started.

Input -> a numeric value.
Output -> one value for each input batch, of the same type as the input.
Runs -> on each new input. Its window starts again when its stage starts.

import math

tank_pt -> math.min{count=1000} -> tank_pt_min
