smoothGauss function

Smooth a numeric vector using a Gaussian window

smoothGauss(x, alpha, window = 0.1)

Arguments

• x: numeric vector of values to smooth.
• alpha: numeric value controlling the size of the gaussian smoothing window. Proportional to the standard deviation of the Gaussian smoothing kernel where sd=(N-1)/(2*alpha) with N being the length of the input vector.
• window: a fraction between 0 and 1 representing the proportion of the input vector to include in the moving window.

Details

Adapted from smth.gaussian in the smoother package.

Examples

smoothGauss(runif(200),alpha=5)
