Provide moving average smoother #5680

Currently, tensorboard has the ability to smooth scalar plots using an exponentially moving average (EMA). Although EMA is useful for visualizing trends in the scalar time series, many times a more appropriate smoother is simply a moving average (MA). Propose to implement MA smoother in tensorboard and have slider to control filter width. MA has the advantage of being a "memory-less" smoother which is quite useful when plotting.

Thanks Isaac. Is this for the Scalars dashboard? Time Series? Other?

This could be interesting but we aren't able to prioritize taking it on now. If you are interested, you are welcome to put together a PR with the proposed changes. It would also be nice, as part of that PR, to highlight some scenarios where MA is preferable over EMA so we can have a better idea of the value!
