Description
|
|
•
|
The first parameter X is a single data sample - given as a Vector or list. Each value represents an individual observation.
|
•
|
The second parameter m is the size of the moving window. The size of the moving window cannot exceed the number of elements in X (or the number of non-missing elements if ignore is set to true). The number of items in the answer is less than the number of items in data. Only complete neighborhoods are included, so the number of items is reduced by m-.
