The WeightedMovingAverage function computes weighted moving averages for a set of observations. This is a special case of the LinearFilter command.

The first parameter X is a single data sample - given as e.g. a Vector . Each value represents an individual observation.

The second parameter Y is the average - given as e.g. a Vector . Each value represents a average coefficient.

The options argument can contain one or more of the options shown below. These options are described in more detail in the Statistics[Mean] help page.

ignore=truefalse -- This option is used to specify how to handle non-numeric data. If ignore is set to true all non-numeric items in X will be ignored.
