Calculate rolling means

Source: R/utils.R

Compared with zoo::rollmean(), this function is implemented in C and is one magnitude faster.

rollmean(
  x,
  k,
  na_pad = FALSE,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  align = c("center", "left", "right")
)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector.
k

integer width of the rolling window.
na_pad

Logical value about whether to pad left/right ends with NAs.
na.rm

Similar to na.rm in base::mean(), a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
align

Character specifying whether the index of the result should be left- or right-aligned or centered (default) compared to the rolling window of observations.

Value

The rolling mean.

Examples

x <- 1:10

# Basic usage
rollmean(x, k = 3)
#> [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

# Align at the right end, and use NA for padding
rollmean(x, k = 3, na_pad = TRUE, align = "right")
#>  [1] NA NA  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9
