Question on Reduce + rollmean

Dear Gabor & Henrique,

Thanks for your suggestions on the above problem. The following is more
traditional and unfanciful but it works. Suitable for a prodige like
myself...

m <- matrix(1:3,3,3)
x1 <- list(m, m+1, m+2, m+3, m+4)
out <- list()
for (i in 1:4){
t[[i]] <- Reduce("+", x1[c(i:i+1)])
}

Muhammad

Here is a variation which also uses head and tail:

mapply(function(x, y) (x + y)/2, tail(x, -1), head(x, -1), SIMPLIFY =
FALSE)

For this example try this:

lapply(lapply(list('head', 'tail'), do.call, list(x, n = -1)),
function(x)Reduce('+', x)/2)

Thanks Gabor,

It works alright. But is there alternative ways to perform rollmean
apart
from permutating the data?
Possibly combining the Reduce and rollmean functions?

The easiest but traditional way is

(x[[1]]+x[[2]]) / 2
(x[[2]]+x[[3]]) / 2

Try apply:

library(zoo) # rollmean

# test data
m <- matrix(1:3, 3, 3)
x <- list(m, m+3, m+6)

# convert to array
a <- array(unlist(x), c(3, 3, 3)); a

# apply rollmean and permute to desired form
aa <- apply(a, 1:2, rollmean, k = 2)
aperm(aa, c(2, 3, 1))

The last line outputs:

aperm(aa, c(2, 3, 1))

, , 1

? ?[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] ?2.5 ?2.5 ?2.5
[2,] ?3.5 ?3.5 ?3.5
[3,] ?4.5 ?4.5 ?4.5

[3,] ?7.5 ?7.5 ?7.5

Let me rephrase;

Given x as

x

[[1]]
?V1 V2 V3
[1,] ?1 ?1 ?1
[2,] ?2 ?2 ?2
[3,] ?3 ?3 ?3

[[2]]
?V1 V2 V3
[1,] ?4 ?4 ?4
[2,] ?5 ?5 ?5
[3,] ?6 ?6 ?6

[[3]]
?V1 V2 V3
[1,] ?7 ?7 ?7
[2,] ?8 ?8 ?8
[3,] ?9 ?9 ?9

I'd like to calculate the moving average (interval = 2) i.e.

( x[[1]] + x[[2]] ) / 2
( x[[2]] + x[[3]] ) / 2
... and so on.

The desired output will return

2.5 2.5 2.5
3.5 3.5 3.5
4.5 4.5 4.5

5.5 5.5 5.5
6.5 6.5 6.5
7.5 7.5 7.5
