movmean

Syntax

m=movmean(x)

m=movmean(x,wlen)

m=movmean(x,[nb,na])

m=movmean(...,dim)

m=movmean(...,dim,'Endpoints',v)

Inputs

x

The data sample.

Type: double

Dimension: vector | matrix

wlen

The window length over which to compute means.

For odd values the window will be centered with respect to each target element. For even values there will be one more element before the target element than after.

Type: integer

Dimension: scalar

nb

The number of windowed points before the target element.

Type: integer

Dimension: scalar

na

The number of windowed points after the target element.

Type: integer

Dimension: scalar

dim

Dimension on which to perform the calculation.

Default: first non-singleton dimension.

Type: integer

Dimension: scalar

v

The 'Endpoints' property value.

The available options are as follows:

'shrink'

Windows that would extend beyond the matrix boundary shrink to contain only the existing data.

'discard'

Windows that would extend beyond the matrix boundary are discarded with the result that the output dimensions are reduced.

'same'

Window elements that extend beyond the matrix boundary are filled with the values of the elements on the matrix boundary.

'periodic'

Window elements that extend beyond the matrix boundary are filled by wrapping around the other end of each dimension.

number

Window elements that extend beyond the matrix boundary are filled with a specified numeric value.

Outputs

m

The moving mean results.

Dimension: vector | matrix

Comments

The current implementation does not accomodate NaN values in the data.
