Hello,
Well, in this case, you're simply applying a rolling mean with window of
2. Package 'zoo' has the rollmean function that does exactly this sort
of thing
install.packages("zoo")
library(zoo)
x <- 1:10
rollmean(x, 2)
Then, check out the source for rollmean by simply typing
rollmean.default
at the R prompt. See how they did it. I realize not a direct answer to
your question, but hopefully gets you started. You'll have to think
about it on a case by case basis in general.
HTH,
Erik

Sorry for being unclear.
I am asking if there is a way to process a vector in a way
that uses references to other elements of the same vector.
And doing this without a for-loop.
Here is a running code:
<code>
complexFn <- function(a,b){
c <- (a+b)/2
return(c)
}
x <- 1:10
y <- rep(NA, length(x))
for (i in 1:length(x)){
if(i>1){
y[i] = complexFn(x[i-1], x[i])
}
}
print(y)
</code>
And here is another attempt without the for-loop.
<code>
x <- 1:10
x1 <- c(NA, x)
length(x1)<-length(x)
y<-mapply(complexFn,x,x1)
print(c(y))
</code>
If someone could tell me the normal/elegant/effective/R way of
doing this kind of vector processing, that would highly appreciated.
best,
gabor
