Applies temporal smoothing to reproduction number estimates using a centered
moving average window. Handles missing and infinite values appropriately.
Usage
smooth_estimates(r_estimate, window)
Arguments
- r_estimate
numeric vector; reproduction number estimates to smooth.
Can contain NA or infinite values
- window
integer; size of the smoothing window in time units. Window is
centered around each point
Value
numeric vector; smoothed reproduction number estimates of the same
length as input. Returns NA for points with insufficient valid
neighboring values
