Moving Average

Description

Apply a moving average window as a smoothing function to a numeric vector

Usage

movingAverage(x, window = 9, at = names(x), FUN = mean, do.ends = TRUE)

unitIntervalMA(x, step=1)

Arguments

x	numeric vector of data to be smoothed by a moving window
window	size of the window, in elements of x
at	numeric vector representing the locations that the values of x come from
FUN	averaging function to apply the the windowed subsets of x
do.ends	logical, should the ends of x that can't have a full window be droppped (FALSE) or approximated with smaller windows (TRUE)
step	increment stepsize, passed to seq( ..., by=step)

Value

A numeric vector, where the values are the averages in the window, and the names are the locations for the centers of the windows used.

To force the result of movingAverage to have fixed gaps between at, it can be passed to unitIntervalMA, which uses splines to interpolate to a new set of locations with a constant step size.
