Hi, just a quick question:
Should weighted.mean be able to cope with the specific case where one
weight is Inf? I came across this when trying to implement a simple
weighted moving average algorithm for surface smoothing: these
algorithms often result in a single infinite weight when predicting
the surface value at known data points.
e.g.
> weighted.mean(c(77,88,99), c(Inf, 1, 2)) #should this return 77?
[1] NaN
Cheers

p.s. a while ago I suggested using '??xxx' as a shortcut for
help.search("xxx"), much like '?xxx' is a shortcut for help("xxx"). I
was just wondering if anyone had any more thoughts on the matter?
