What is "Median filter size" and "Average moving size" doing? about fitplotter HOT 2 CLOSED

stumbled upon "Median filter size" and "Average moving size".

These are to smooth noisy data.

"Median filter size" is explained at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_filter section "Worked one-dimensional example"

"Average moving size" is explained at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average section "Simple moving average"

If the inintial data are not noisy, these filters have no effects. Nowadays, it's the case because a smooth algorithm might already be implented into the watch hardware, howere, ten years ago, with the first Garmin watches, one typically had an issiue with noisy data
