///
/// From John Ehlers' *Cycle Analytics for Traders* (2013, ch. 8):
///
/// ```text
/// Filt = RoofingFilter(price) (detrend + denoise)
/// Corr[lag] = Pearson( Filt[0..AvgLength], Filt[lag..lag+AvgLength] ) for lag = 0..max_period
/// for each candidate period:
/// power[period] = (Σ Corr[N]·cos(2πN/period))² + (Σ Corr[N]·sin(2πN/period))²
/// R[period] = 0.2·power[period] + 0.8·R[period]_{t−1} (EMA across time)
/// normalise by a decaying max, then
/// DominantCycle = centre-of-gravity of periods whose normalised power ≥ 0.5
/// ```
///
/// The autocorrelation function emphasises whatever cycle is actually present and
/// suppresses noise; transforming it into a periodogram and taking the
/// power-weighted centre of gravity gives a smooth, robust estimate of the
/// dominant cycle length. That cycle is the key input for every *adaptive*
/// indicator (adaptive RSI/CCI/stochastic) — set their lookback from it. The
/// output is a period in bars within `[min_period, max_period]`.
///
/// The first value lands after `max_period + AvgLength` inputs. Each `update` is
/// O(`max_period²`); the cosines and sines it weighs the correlations by depend
/// only on the configuration, so they are computed once, at construction.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Indicator, AutocorrelationPeriodogram};
