R: Smooth Using Gaussian Window

smth.gaussian {smoother} | R Documentation

## Smooth Using Gaussian Window

### Description

The specific function for smoothing using the gaussian window function

### Usage

    smth.gaussian(x = stop("Numeric Vector 'x' is Required"),
      window = getOption("smoother.window"),
      alpha = getOption("smoother.gaussianwindow.alpha"), ...,
      tails = getOption("smoother.tails"))

### Arguments

`x` | numeric vector of values to smooth, error will be thrown if not provided.
`window` | the length of the smoothing window, if an integer, represents number of items, else, if a value between `0` and `1`, represents the proportion of the input vector
`alpha` | parameter to determine the breadth of the gaussian window, yielding more or less sensitive smoothing characteristics
`...` | not used
`tails` | Logical value as to whether the tail regions should be included or not.

### Examples

    y  = runif(100)
      ys = smth.gaussian(y)
