Default Calculating Rate of Change from Barometer Readings

Hi,

If I take 5 minute readings from a barometer what is the preferred/usual
method for calculating the rate of change over an hour.

I'd also be interested in this! At the moment I take the difference
between the reading 3 hours ago and now and use that as the rate of
change. I think that 3 hours is the preferred length of time for rate of
change of pressure, although I may be wrong!
