Data Inputs for Selectable Input Smoothing

Selectable Inputs Smoothing consumes a set of unsmoothed attribution effects and smoothes them in a way the sum of effects reconciles to either the absolute total return (contribution smoothing) or the excess total returns (attribution smoothing). The necessary inputs for contribution smoothing are unsmoothed effects, fund weight, and fund return. Likewise, the necessary inputs for attribution smoothing are unsmoothed effects, fund, and benchmark weights and returns. If the smoothing is only at total report level, the weight field can be ignored.
