Santa Uses a Moving Average
My son's a little worried that Santa may skip our house because he was sometimes bad this year. I explained that Santa uses an exponentially weighted moving average to compute your goodness score, so more recent datapoints dominate and he's probably fine.
A father reassures his worried son that Santa will still visit by explaining the child's behavior with an exponentially weighted moving average. The joke combines Christmas folklore with technical data-science language, implying recent good behavior outweighs earlier mischief.
