Question on Reduce + rollmean

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))

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
