//! Volatility indicators.

/// Compute the Average True Range (ATR), Wilder smoothed (TA-Lib compatible).
///
/// ATR measures market volatility by smoothing the True Range with Wilder's
/// method. Seeded with the SMA of `TR[1..=timeperiod]` (bar 0 is skipped,
/// matching TA-Lib). Returns non-negative values; the first `timeperiod`
/// indices are `NaN`.
///
/// # Arguments
/// * `high` / `low` / `close` - OHLC price series (same length).
/// * `timeperiod` - Smoothing period (typically 14).
