 * cause the current value to have more weight (and thus the previous average
 * to decay more quickly), lower values have the opposite effect.
 *
 * This algorithm is not timing sensitive: it doesn't take into account gaps in the
 * data over time, and treats all values equally regardless of when the value was
 * collected.
 *
 * You should initialize the the average value with a value equal to `nullValue`.
 * If `prevAverage` equals `nullValue` then this function simply returns `currentValue`.
