Any good algorithms for normallizing jitter?

Or you can run it through a low-pass filter:

  #define SMOOTHING_FACTOR 0.8  //between 0 (no smoothing) and 0.99 (maximum smoothing)
  
  static float smoothedValue = 0;
  float unsmoothedValue = 0;

  unsmoothedValue = GetTheCurrentDataValue();

  smoothedValue = (SMOOTHING_FACTOR * smoothedValue) + ((1 - SMOOTHING_FACTOR) * unsmoothedValue);  //low pass filter

I think this is easier than messing about with arrays and calculating averages. It is mathematically rigorous and widely used.
