[Bioc-devel] runmean and NA values

[Hahne, Florian]

Hi all,
Runmean and the related run* functions currently can't deal with NA
values. Kasper asked for a na.rm argument a long while ago and back then
Patrick agreed to add this in one of the upcoming releases
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2010-August/034982.html)

Is that still on someone's radar? I would really like to see that in
runmean for the same reasons Kasper pointed out: NAs and zeros are not
necessarily equivalent in Rle vectors, and I would like to be able to
smooth data that contains NAs.

Thanks,
Florian
