Characteristic Length (m)
A window is passed across a raw data set to find the “rolling median” of that data.
The width of the window is defined as a number of points corresponding to the
Characteristic Length specified by the user. This calculation of the rolling median
is performed in order to locate the peaks (i.e. upward events) within the data set.
As this value is increased, the median algorithm will tend to smear the events of a
given data set, making it less able to distinguish between events (i.e. the median
will not transition quickly enough). As this value is decreased, the median will react
too quickly to events in the given data set and will tend to track each transient event.
