moving.block

a numeric vector or two-column matrix

block length (i.e. how many elements are to be plotted in each
step)

block

a plot function to be applied to the subset of data

other arguments passed to <code>FUN</code>

&#8230;

For a long numeric vector or matrix (or data frame), we can plot only a
subset of its elements to take a closer look at its structure. With a moving
``block'' from the beginning to the end of a vector or matrix or any R
objects to which we can apply <code>subset</code>, all elements inside the block
are plotted as a line or scatter plot or any customized plots.

Provides functions for animations in statistics, covering topics
in probability theory, mathematical statistics, multivariate statistics,
non-parametric statistics, sampling survey, linear models, time series,
computational statistics, data mining and machine learning. These functions
may be helpful in teaching statistics and data analysis. Also provided in this
package are a series of functions to save animations to various formats, e.g.
Flash, 'GIF', HTML pages, 'PDF' and videos. 'PDF' animations can be inserted
into 'Sweave' / 'knitr' easily.
