# What formula do you use for your smoothing algorithm?

The exponential moving average formula aligns with the one used in TensorBoard.

Refer to this [explanation on Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42281844/what-is-the-mathematics-behind-the-smoothing-parameter-in-tensorboards-scalar/75421930#75421930) for details on the equivalent Python implementation.
