Weighted Average

  • 1 minute(s) read

This Algorithm calculates the weighted average given the input metrics and weights.

Each input value is multiplied by its respective weight, the products are then summed and divided by the sum of the weights.

Mathematically, it can be represented as:

(M1 x W1 + M2 x W2 + ... + Mn x Wn) / (W1 + W2 + ... + Wn)
