虽然有点慢，但你也可以使用zoo::rollapply在矩阵上执行计算。

reqd_ma <- rollapply(x, FUN = mean, width = n)

其中x为数据集，FUN = mean为函数;你也可以改变它为min, max, sd等，宽度是滚动窗口。

vector_avg <- function(x){
  sum_x = 0
  for(i in 1:length(x)){
    if(!is.na(x[i]))
      sum_x = sum_x + x[i]
  }
  return(sum_x/length(x))
}

下面的示例代码展示了如何使用zoo包中的rollmean函数计算居中移动平均和尾随移动平均。

library(tidyverse)
library(zoo)

some_data = tibble(day = 1:10)
# cma = centered moving average
# tma = trailing moving average
some_data = some_data %>%
    mutate(cma = rollmean(day, k = 3, fill = NA)) %>%
    mutate(tma = rollmean(day, k = 3, fill = NA, align = "right"))
some_data
#> # A tibble: 10 x 3
#>      day   cma   tma
#>    <int> <dbl> <dbl>
#>  1     1    NA    NA
#>  2     2     2    NA
#>  3     3     3     2
#>  4     4     4     3
#>  5     5     5     4
#>  6     6     6     5
#>  7     7     7     6
#>  8     8     8     7
#>  9     9     9     8
#> 10    10    NA     9

为了配合坎迪奇西斯和罗德里戈·雷麦黛奥的回答;

moving_fun <- function(x, w, FUN, ...) {
  # x: a double vector
  # w: the length of the window, i.e., the section of the vector selected to apply FUN
  # FUN: a function that takes a vector and return a summarize value, e.g., mean, sum, etc.
  # Given a double type vector apply a FUN over a moving window from left to the right, 
  #    when a window boundary is not a legal section, i.e. lower_bound and i (upper bound) 
  #    are not contained in the length of the vector, return a NA_real_
  if (w < 1) {
    stop("The length of the window 'w' must be greater than 0")
  }
  output <- x
  for (i in 1:length(x)) {
     # plus 1 because the index is inclusive with the upper_bound 'i'
    lower_bound <- i - w + 1
    if (lower_bound < 1) {
      output[i] <- NA_real_
    } else {
      output[i] <- FUN(x[lower_bound:i, ...])
    }
  }
  output
}

# example
v <- seq(1:10)

# compute a MA(2)
moving_fun(v, 2, mean)

# compute moving sum of two periods
moving_fun(v, 2, sum)

编辑:非常喜欢添加侧参数，例如，一个日期向量的过去7天的移动平均值(或总和，或…)。

对于那些只想自己计算的人来说，它无非是:

# x = vector with numeric data
# w = window length
y <- numeric(length = length(x))

for (i in seq_len(length(x))) {
  ind <- c((i - floor(w / 2)):(i + floor(w / 2)))
  ind <- ind[ind %in% seq_len(length(x))]
  y[i] <- mean(x[ind])
}

y

但是让它独立于mean()会很有趣，所以你可以计算任何“移动”函数!

# our working horse:
moving_fn <- function(x, w, fun, ...) {
  # x = vector with numeric data
  # w = window length
  # fun = function to apply
  # side = side to take, (c)entre, (l)eft or (r)ight
  # ... = parameters passed on to 'fun'
  y <- numeric(length(x))
  for (i in seq_len(length(x))) {
    if (side %in% c("c", "centre", "center")) {
      ind <- c((i - floor(w / 2)):(i + floor(w / 2)))
    } else if (side %in% c("l", "left")) {
      ind <- c((i - floor(w) + 1):i)
    } else if (side %in% c("r", "right")) {
      ind <- c(i:(i + floor(w) - 1))
    } else {
      stop("'side' must be one of 'centre', 'left', 'right'", call. = FALSE)
    }
    ind <- ind[ind %in% seq_len(length(x))]
    y[i] <- fun(x[ind], ...)
  }
  y
}

# and now any variation you can think of!
moving_average <- function(x, w = 5, side = "centre", na.rm = FALSE) {
  moving_fn(x = x, w = w, fun = mean, side = side, na.rm = na.rm)
}

moving_sum <- function(x, w = 5, side = "centre", na.rm = FALSE) {
  moving_fn(x = x, w = w, fun = sum, side = side, na.rm = na.rm)
}

moving_maximum <- function(x, w = 5, side = "centre", na.rm = FALSE) {
  moving_fn(x = x, w = w, fun = max, side = side, na.rm = na.rm)
}

moving_median <- function(x, w = 5, side = "centre", na.rm = FALSE) {
  moving_fn(x = x, w = w, fun = median, side = side, na.rm = na.rm)
}

moving_Q1 <- function(x, w = 5, side = "centre", na.rm = FALSE) {
  moving_fn(x = x, w = w, fun = quantile, side = side, na.rm = na.rm, 0.25)
}

moving_Q3 <- function(x, w = 5, side = "centre", na.rm = FALSE) {
  moving_fn(x = x, w = w, fun = quantile, side = side, na.rm = na.rm, 0.75)
}

可以使用runner包来移动函数。在本例中是mean_run函数。cummean的问题是它不处理NA值，但mean_run可以。Runner包还支持不规则时间序列，Windows可以依赖于日期:

library(runner)
set.seed(11)
x1 <- rnorm(15)
x2 <- sample(c(rep(NA,5), rnorm(15)), 15, replace = TRUE)
date <- Sys.Date() + cumsum(sample(1:3, 15, replace = TRUE))

mean_run(x1)

还可以指定其他选项，如延迟和仅在特定索引处滚动。更多内容在包和函数文档中。
