The SMA value of a set of values (or a

In the case of a set of ''n'' values \ matching a time length ''T'', the SMA : x_\text = \sum_^n x_i In the continuous domain, we have for example, with a 3-axis signal with an offset correction ''a'' for each axis, the following equation: : f_\text= \int_0^T , x(t)-a_x, +, y(t)-a_y, +, z(t)-a_z, \, dt
