“…These include but are not limited to the use of statistical methods, for example, linear modelling, machine learning and weighted moving averages (Pichler et al, 2020;Tredennick et al, 2021). Participants of the financial markets make use of algorithms to predict how the markets will respond in the future based on known data (Granger & Poon, 2003), here weighted moving averages are reliably used to predict the level of market volatility (Araneda, 2021;Broll & Förster, 2022;Granger & Poon, 2003;Gurrola-Perez, 2021). Ecological studies have historically used weighted moving averages to predict behaviours associated with foraging (Devenport & Devenport, 1994) and budget allocation to prey selection (McNamara & Houston, 1987), and recently in mussel behaviour prediction for online monitoring of oil pollution (Guterres et al, 2020), with application in fish behavioural studies limited (Brownscombe et al, 2019).…”
