Exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) lambda = 0.94

The calculations for EWMA are the same as for the linear model.However, the volatilities and covariances must be updated to reflect the new information in the latest share prices.

tomorrow's variance = lambda * today's variance + ( 1 - lambda ) * today's daily return ^ 2tomorrow's covariance = lambda * today's covariance + ( 1 - lambda ) * BP_Amoco_daily_return * Tesco_daily_return

Covariance NOTE: The textbook uses correlation rather than covariance.original -0.002398% covariance = correlation * BP_Amoco_volatility * Tesco_volatilityestimated -0.002676% or correlatiocovariance / (BP_Amoco_volatility * Tesco_volatility)(using the formula above) -0.002676% So the estimated correlation would need to be calculated from the estimated

covariance & volatilities, and it is easier simply to use the covariance directly.
