timeSeries (version 4021.104)

rollMean: Rolling Statistics

Description

Computes rolling mean, min, max and median for a 'timeSeries' object.

Usage

rollStats(x, k, FUN=mean, na.pad=FALSE, 
    align=c("center", "left", "right"), ...)
    
rollMean(x, k, na.pad = FALSE, 
    align = c("center", "left", "right"), ...)
rollMin(x, k, na.pad = FALSE, 
    align = c("center", "left", "right"), ...)
rollMax(x, k, na.pad = FALSE, 
    align = c("center", "left", "right"), ...)
rollMedian(x, k, na.pad = FALSE, 
    align = c("center", "left", "right"), ...)

Value

returns an object of class 'timeSeries'.

Arguments

x

an uni- or multivariate 'timeSeries' object.

k

an integer width of the rolling window. Must be odd for rollMedian.

FUN

the function to be rolled.

na.pad

a logical flag. Should NA padding be added at beginning? By default FALSE.

align

a character string specifying whether the index of the result should be left- or right-aligned or centered compared to the rolling window of observations. The default choice is set to align="center".

...

optional arguments to be passed.

Author

Details

The code in the core of the functions rollMean, rollMin, rollMax, and rollMedian was borrowed from the package zoo authored by Achim Zeileis, Gabor Grothendieck and Felix Andrews.

Examples

## Use Swiss Pension Fund Data Set of Returns - 
   head(LPP2005REC)
   SPI <- LPP2005REC[, "SPI"]
   head(SPI)
   
## Plot Drawdowns - 
   rmean <- rollMean(SPI, k = 10)
   plot(rmean)
