Generator for exponential decay.

    Args:
        base: The mathematical base of the exponentiation operation
        factor: Factor to multiply the exponentation by.
        max_value: The maximum value to yield. Once the value in the
             true exponential sequence exceeds this, the value
             of max_value will forever after be yielded.
