Definitions
In plain terms
For recursive exponential smoothing, older influence typically decays geometrically after initialization effects are accounted for.
Technical
The profile depends on parameterization, adjusted versus recursive form, seed, missing-value policy, and finite history.
Scope
Two smoothers with the same period label need not have the same effective weights.
Examples
- A governed lesson uses Effective Weight Profile only with declared inputs, timing, parameters, and edge-case behavior.
Common misconceptions
- Two smoothers with the same period label need not have the same effective weights.

Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition
Limits: Forecasting notation and initialization can differ from technical-indicator conventions and must be translated explicitly.
