Efficient Weighted Average Calculation Algorithm

Matthew Tambiah

Cited by 0Open access

Abstract

This paper presents an efficient algorithm (method) for calculating Weighted Averages called the "Fast Weighted Average calculation method. In general, the algorithm presented in textbooks for calculating a Weighted Average of n elements (each with a Values and a Weight) will require n multiplication operations. This paper presents a calculation algorithm for calculating the Weighted Average of elements using at most (n − 1) multiplication operations when using Normalized Weights.
