/// CHANGE: Relative Price Change
/// Calculates the percentage change between current value and value N periods ago.
/// Formula: (current - past) / past
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Key properties:
/// - Returns relative price movement as a decimal (multiply by 100 for percent)
/// - Useful for momentum measurement, rate of change analysis
/// - Can be validated against TA-Lib ROC function (when multiplied by 100)
/// - Returns 0 when past value is 0 to avoid division by zero
/// </remarks>
