Custom Exponential Smoothing

Has anybody ever developed a code for using decimalization or percentages for an exponential smoothing function instead of Length?

For example, using 0.75 of current RSI reading and 0.25 of exponential value one bar ago. Looking to add more adjustability to this calculation.

Thank you in advance for any help.

here is my interpretation on what you are asking for.
find a % of current data value and some % of the previous bar average, and add them together.

i copied the RSI study and disabled most of it.

Code:
# rsi_exp_smoothing

#Custom Exponential Smoothing

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();

#---------------------------------
