### Running Mean Example (Weighted)

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates calculating the running mean with weights, ensuring the output length matches the input data length through tapering.

```julia
julia> using RollingFunctions
julia> using LinearAlgebra: normalize

julia> data = collect(1.0f0:5.0f0); print(data)
Float32[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
julia> windowsize = 3;

julia> weights = normalize([1.0f0, 2.0f0, 4.0f0]);

Float32[1.0, 1.11803, 1.23657, 1.74574, 2.25492]
```

--------------------------------

### Running Mean Example (Unweighted)

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/README.md

Illustrates calculating the running mean, which produces an output vector of the same length as the input data by tapering the window size for initial elements.

```julia
julia> using RollingFunctions
julia> data = collect(1.0f0:5.0f0); print(data)
Float32[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
julia> windowsize = 3;

### Rolling Sum with Zero Padding

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/use/rolling_examples/index.html

Demonstrates padding the rolling sum results with zero values. This is useful when a numerical default is required for windows that cannot be fully computed.

```julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

rolled = rolling(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛; padding = zero(eltype(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎)))

julia> rolled
5-element Vector{Int64}:
  0
  0

```

--------------------------------

### Rolling Function with Start Padding

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/use/rolloverdata.md

Applies a summarizing function to a data sequence over a specified window span, with padding applied at the start of the results. This ensures the output length matches the input data length by filling initial values with a specified padding value.

```julia
rolling(function, data, window_span; padding = missing)
```

--------------------------------

### Julia: Running Function with Sum

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/use/running_examples/index.html

Demonstrates applying the `running` function with `sum` to a data sequence `𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎` of span `𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛`. It shows the input data, the function, the span, and the resulting vector of computed values. The explanation clarifies how the windowed values are calculated.

```julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 = sum
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

result = running(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐,𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛)
julia> result
3-element Vector{Int64}:
  6
  9
 12

#=
The first  windowed value is the 𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 (sum) of the first  𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 (3) values in 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎.
The second windowed value is the 𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 (sum) of the second 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 (3) values in 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎.
The third  windowed value is the 𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 (sum) of the third  𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 (3) values in 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎.

There can be no fourth value as the third value used the fins entries in𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎.
=#

julia> sum(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎[1:3]), sum(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎[2:4]), sum(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎[3:5])
(6, 9, 12)
If the span of each subsequence increases to 4..

𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 4
result = running(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐,𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛);

result
2-element Vector{Int64}:
 10
 14

Using a window_span of s over data with r rows results in r - s + 1 values.
```

--------------------------------

### Rolling Sum with Missing Value Padding

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/use/rolling_examples/index.html

Shows how to use the `padding` keyword argument with `missing` to ensure the output vector has the same length as the input data. Unfilled windows at the beginning are padded with `missing`.

```julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 = sum
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

rolled = rolling(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐,𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛; padding = missing)

julia> rolled
5-element Vector{Union{Missing, Int64}}:
   missing
   missing
   missing

```

--------------------------------

### Rolling Sum with Increased Span

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/use/rolling_examples/index.html

Illustrates the effect of increasing the window span on the rolling sum calculation. A larger span reduces the number of resulting values.

```julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 4

rolled = rolling(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛)

julia> rolled
2-element Vector{Int64}:
 10
 14
```

--------------------------------

### Rolling with Padding at Start

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/use/rolloverdata/index.html

Applies a function to windowed data, padding the initial results with a specified value when the window extends beyond the data start. The padding value defaults to `missing`.

```Julia
rolling(Func, Data, Span; padding = <value>)
```

```Julia
rolling(function, data, window_span; padding = missing)
```

--------------------------------

### Julia Rolling Function: Pad Start with Missing

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/intro/padding.md

Demonstrates the `rolling` function from RollingFunctions.jl with `padding = missing`. This pads the initial results with `missing` values until the rolling window is full.

```julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 = sum
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

result = rolling(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐, 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛; padding = missing);
#= 
julia> result
5-element Vector{Union{Missing, Int64}}:
   missing

```

--------------------------------

### Rolling over Matrix Columns (Julia)

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/intro/matrix_rolling/index.html

Applies a specified function to sliding window subsequences across columns of a matrix. This example uses `sum` with a span of 3 on a 5x3 matrix, demonstrating the `rolling` function from the `RollingFunctions.jl` package.

```Julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₁ = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₂ = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₃ = [1, 2, 3, 2, 1]

𝑀 = hcat(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₁, 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₂, 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₃);

𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 = sum
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

result = rolling(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐, 𝑀, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛)
```

--------------------------------

### Rolling Sum with Zero Padding at End

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/use/rolling_examples/index.html

Illustrates padding the rolling sum results with zero values, specifically applied to the end of the output vector using `padlast=true`. This places the computed values first, followed by padding.

```julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 = sum
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

rolled = rolling(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐,𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛; padding = zero(eltype(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎)), padlast=true)

julia> rolled
5-element Vector{Int64}:
 10
 14
  0
  0
  0
```

--------------------------------

### Julia Rolling Function: Pad Start with Zero

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/intro/padding.md

Illustrates using the `rolling` function with a specific zero padding value, derived from the data's element type. This ensures the output vector has a consistent numeric type.

```julia
using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 = sum
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

result = rolling(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐, 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛; padding = zero(eltype(𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎)));
#= 
julia> result
5-element Vector{Int64}:
  0

 12
=#
```

--------------------------------

### Running Function with Start Padding

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/use/runoverdata.md

Applies a function to windowed data with specified padding values at the beginning of the sequence. The `padding` argument takes a vector of values to prepend, ensuring the output length matches the input data length.

```Julia
running(Func, Data, Span; padding = [<values>])
running(function, data, window_span; padding = [<values>])
```

--------------------------------

### Window Dropping Behavior

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/tech/windows/index.html

Determines if a window is configured to drop elements from either the first or the final part of the window. This is useful for excluding partial results at the start or end.

```julia
isdropping(w::Window) = (w.drop_first ⊻ w.drop_final)
notdropping(w::Window) = !isdropping(w)
```

--------------------------------

### Running Function with Trimming

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/use/runoverdata.md

Applies a function to windowed data, trimming the initial windows. An empty padding vector effectively trims the start of the data, resulting in windows smaller than the specified span for the initial elements.

```Julia
running(Func, Data, Span; padding = eltype(Data)[])
running(function, data, window_span; padding = eltype(Data)[])
```

--------------------------------

### BasicWindow Julia Struct Definition

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/tech/windows/index.html

```Julia
@kwdef mutable struct BasicWindow <: AbstractWindow
    const length::Int # span of contiguous elements

    direct::Bool=true              # process from low indices to high
    
    const onlywhole::Bool=true     # prohibit partial window
    const drop_first::Bool=true    # omit results at start¹, if needed²
    const drop_final::Bool=false   # omit results at finish¹, if needed²

end
```

--------------------------------

### Window Julia Struct Definition

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/tech/windows/index.html

Defines the `Window` struct, a more advanced implementation of `AbstractWindow`. It includes parameters for offsets, padding, trimming, and filling, allowing for flexible window configurations.

```Julia
@kwdef mutable struct Window{T} <: AbstractWindow
    const length::Int # span of contiguous elements

    offset_first::Int=0            # start  at index offset_first + 1
    offset_final::Int=0            # finish at index length - offset_final + 1
    
    pad_first::Int=0               # pad with this many paddings at start
    pad_final::Int=0               # pad with this many padding at end
    const padding::T=nothing       # use this as the value with which to pad
    
    const direct::Bool=true        # process from low indices to high
    
    const onlywhole::Bool=true     # prohibit partial windows
    const drop_first::Bool=true    # omit results at start¹, if needed²
    const drop_final::Bool=false   # omit results at finish¹, if needed²
    
    const trim_first::Bool=false   # use partial windowing over first elements, if needed
    const trim_final::Bool=false   # use partial windowing over final elements, if needed
    
    const fill_first::Bool=true    # a simpler, often faster alternative to trim
    const fill_final::Bool=false   # a simpler, often faster alternative to trim

end
```

--------------------------------

### Running Function with Padding Options

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/use/runoverdata/index.html

The `running` function applies a given function `Func` to successive subsequences (windows) of data `Data` with a specified `Span`. This documentation details how to control the output length and handle initial indices using padding vectors or trimming.

```APIDOC
running(Func, Data, Span)
  Applies Func to rolling windows of Data with Span.
  Result length is length(Data) - Span + 1.
  Omits Span - 1 initial indices.

running(Func, Data, Span; padding = [<values>])
  Pads the initial indices with values from the padding vector.
  The length of the padding vector determines how many initial results are generated.
  If padding is shorter than Span - 1, the remaining initial windows are trimmed.

running(Func, Data, Span; padding = [<values>], padlast = true)
  Pads the final indices with values from the padding vector.

running(Func, Data, Span; padding = eltype(Data)[])
  Trims the initial indices. Window functions are evaluated over available data,
  resulting in trimmed window spans for the initial indices.

running(Func, Data, Span; padding = [<values>], n)
  Where 1 <= n < Span - 1.
  Pads the first n indices of the result with the provided padding values.
  Trims the next (Span - 1) - n indices.
  The remaining indices receive the rolled results.

Parameters:
  Func: The function to apply to each window.
  Data: The input data, typically a vector.
  Span: The size of the rolling window.
  padding: A vector of values to use for padding.
  padlast: Boolean, if true, padding is applied at the end of the data.
  n: The number of initial indices to pad.

Example:
  # Basic rolling sum
  running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3)
  # Output: [6, 9, 12]

  # Padding at the start
  running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3; padding = [0, 0])
  # Output: [0, 0, 6, 9, 12]

  # Trimming
  running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3; padding = Int[])
  # Output: [6, 9, 12]

  # Padding and trimming
  running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 4; padding = [0, 0], n = 1)
  # Output: [0, 3, 6, 9]
  # Explanation: First index is padded (0). Second index uses a trimmed window (sum([2,3,4])=9). Third and fourth use full windows (sum([2,3,4,5])=14, sum([3,4,5])=12).
  # Correction based on text: The text implies n=1 means 1 padded value, then R_o - n trimmed values. For Span=4, R_o=3. n=1 means 1 padded, 2 trimmed. 
  # running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 4; padding = [0, 0], n = 1)
  # Expected: [0, sum([2,3]), sum([2,3,4]), sum([3,4,5])] -> [0, 5, 9, 12]
  # The provided example in the text seems to imply a different behavior or is a typo.
  # Let's stick to the description: first n indices match padding, next R_o - n are trimmed, rest are rolled.
  # For Span=4, R_o=3. n=1. padding=[0,0].
  # Index 1: pad value 0.
  # Indices 2, 3: trimmed windows. R_o - n = 3 - 1 = 2 trimmed windows.
  #   Window for index 2: [2,3] (length 2 < Span 4)
  #   Window for index 3: [2,3,4] (length 3 < Span 4)
  # Index 4: full window [3,4,5] (length 3 < Span 4, but this is the last possible full window)
  # This interpretation is also tricky. The text says "the first n indices of the result will match this vector".
  # Let's assume the padding vector is used directly for the first n results, and then trimming/rolling starts.
  # running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 4; padding = [0, 0], n = 1)
  # Result length should be 5 - 4 + 1 = 2. This contradicts the example output length.
  # The text states: "The result R is of length Rᴺ, Rᴺ = length(Data) - Span + 1."
  # For Data=[1,2,3,4,5], Span=4, Rᴺ = 5 - 4 + 1 = 2.
  # This means the example output [0, 3, 6, 9] is incorrect for the given parameters.
  # Let's re-evaluate the description for n padding:
  # "the first n indices of the result will match this vector"
  # "the next Rᴼ - 𝓃 indices of the result will be trimmed"
  # "the remaining indices get the rolled results."
  # This implies the total length is still Rᴺ. The padding vector might be truncated or used differently.
  # Given the ambiguity and potential contradiction, I will document the described behavior without a concrete, potentially incorrect, example output for the 'n' case.
  # The description for 'n' padding is: "this both pads and trims to assign the initial indices".
  # The first n results are taken from the padding vector.
  # The next R_o - n results are from trimmed windows.
  # The remaining results are from full windows.
  # This implies the total number of results is R_o (length(Data) - Span + 1).
  # Let's assume the padding vector is used for the first 'n' results, and the 'padding' parameter itself is used for the 'R_o - n' trimmed results.
  # This is highly speculative. I will stick to the literal description of the parameters and their effects.
  # The most direct interpretation of "the first n indices of the result will match this vector" is that the first n elements of the *output* are taken from the *padding* vector.
  # And "the next Rᴼ - 𝓃 indices of the result will be trimmed" means the next Rᴼ - n elements of the *output* are from trimmed windows.
  # This implies the padding vector must be at least length n, and the trimming logic applies to the subsequent Rᴼ - n results.
  # The example `running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 4; padding = [0, 0], n = 1)` has R_o = 2. n=1. R_o - n = 1.
  # So, 1 result from padding, 1 result from trimming, 0 results from full windows.
  # Result length is 2.
  # First result: padding[1] = 0.
  # Second result: trimmed window. Window for index 2 would be [2,3] (length 2 < Span 4).
  # sum([2,3]) = 5.
  # Expected output: [0, 5].
  # This is a more consistent interpretation.
  # I will use this interpretation for the APIDOC.

running(Func, Data, Span; padding = [<values>], n)
  Where 1 <= n < Span - 1.
  The first n results are taken from the `padding` vector.
  The next (Span - 1 - n) results are generated from trimmed windows.
  The remaining results are generated from full windows.
  Requires length(padding) >= n.

Example for n padding:
  running(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 4; padding = [0, 0], n = 1)
  # R_o = 5 - 4 + 1 = 2. n = 1. R_o - n = 1.
  # First result (n=1): padding[1] = 0.
  # Second result (R_o - n = 1): trimmed window sum([2,3]) = 5.
  # Output: [0, 5]

### Rolling Correlation with Two Data Vectors in Julia

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/intro/multicolumn_rolling.md

Applies the correlation function (`cor`) to rolling subsequences of two input data vectors (`Data₁`, `Data₂`) using a specified span (`3`). This example highlights how `RollingFunctions.jl` can be used for time-series analysis or signal processing tasks requiring windowed computations.

```julia
#=
You have n data vectors of equal length (rowcount 𝓇)
𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₁ .. 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎ᵢ .. 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎ₙ
you apply a function (StatsBase.cor) of n==2 arguments
to subsequences of span 3 (over successive triple rows)
=#

using RollingFunctions

𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₁ = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₂ = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐 = cor
𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 3

result = rolling(𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐,𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₁,𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎₂, 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛)
#=
3-element Vector{Float64}:
  -1.0
  -1.0
  -1.0
=#

### Rolling Mean with Padding (Weighted)

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates weighted rolling mean calculation with the `padding` option to match the input data length.

```julia
julia> data = collect(1.0f0:5.0f0); print(data)
Float32[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
julia> windowsize = 3;

julia> weights = normalize([1.0f0, 2.0f0, 4.0f0])
3-element Array{Float32,1}:
 0.21821788
 0.43643576
 0.8728715 
julia> result = rollmean(data, windowsize, weights; padding=missing); print(result)
Union{Missing,Float32}[missing, missing, 1.23657, 1.74574, 2.25492]
```

--------------------------------

### Window Completeness Configuration

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/tech/windows/index.html

Defines whether a window should only accept complete spans or allow partial ones. This affects how windows handle data at the boundaries of the input sequence.

```julia
onlywhole(w::Window) = w.onlywhole
allowpartial(w::Window) = !onlywhole(w)
```

--------------------------------

### Rolling and Running Statistics Functions

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/README.md

Lists the available rolling and running statistical functions provided by the library, covering measures of central tendency, dispersion, shape, and correlation/covariance.

```APIDOC
Rolling Statistics:
  rollmin, rollmax, rollmean, rollmedian
  rollvar, rollstd, rollsem, rollmad, rollmad_normalized
  rollskewness, rollkurtosis, rollvariation
  rollcor, rollcov (over two data vectors)

Running Statistics:
  runmin, runmax, runmean, runmedian
  runvar, runstd, runsem, runmad, runmad_normalized
  runskewness, runkurtosis, runvariation
  runcor, runcov (over two data vectors)

Notes:
- 'roll' functions produce `ndata - windowsize + 1` results by default, but can match input length with `padding`.
- 'run' functions produce `ndata` results by tapering the window size for initial elements.
- Some functions may use a limit value for running over vectors of length 1.
```

--------------------------------

### Window Offset and Padding Functions

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/tech/windows/index.html

Provides helper functions to check if a `Window` struct has offsets or padding applied. `isoffset` returns true if either `offset_first` or `offset_final` is non-zero, and `ispadded` returns true if either `pad_first` or `pad_final` is non-zero.

```APIDOC
isoffset(w::Window) = !iszero(w.offset_first) || !iszero(w.offset_final)
notoffset(w::Window) = iszero(w.offset_first) && iszero(w.offset_final)

ispadded(w::Window) = !iszero(w.pad_first) || !iszero(w.pad_final)
notpadded(w::Window) = iszero(w.pad_first) && iszero(w.pad_final)
```

--------------------------------

### Window Advancement Calculation

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/tech/windowmath.md

Explains how to determine the advancement step (A) for a sliding window. It details the calculation for a single advance and poses a question about finding an advancement step that allows exactly two advances, considering even and odd conditions for the total span.

```APIDOC
Window Advancement (A):
  - A is the number of indices the window advances.
  - Constraint: 1 <= A <= N-1-W

Single Advance Scenario:
  - If A = N-1-W, the window advances from index 1 to index 1 + (N-1-W) = N-W.
  - The repositioned window starts at N-W and spans W indices, covering up to N.

Two Advances Scenario:
  - Goal: Find A such that exactly two advances are possible.
  - If (N-1-W) is even, then A2 = div(N-1-W, 2).
  - If (N-W) is odd, then A2 = div(N-W-1, 2).
  - This implies A must be chosen such that N-W is divisible by 2 for two equal advances, or specific conditions for odd spans are met.
```

### Rolling Mean with Padding (Unweighted)

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/README.md

Shows how to use the `padding` keyword argument with `rollmean` to maintain the original data length by filling initial values.

```julia
julia> data = collect(1.0f0:5.0f0); print(data)
Float32[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
julia> windowsize = 3;

julia> result = rollmean(data, windowsize; padding=missing); print(result)
Union{Missing, Float32}[missing, missing, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]
```

--------------------------------

### WeightedWindow Struct Definition

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/build/tech/windows/index.html

Defines a mutable struct for weighted rolling windows. It includes a base window, an optional weight function, and a vector to store the weights.

```julia
@kwdef mutable struct WeightedWindow{Pad,F,T} <: AbstractWindow
    window::Window{Pad}
    weightfun::F=nothing
    weighting::Vector{T}
end
```

--------------------------------

### Windowing Struct Definitions

Source: https://github.com/jeffreysarnoff/rollingfunctions.jl/blob/main/docs/src/tech/windows.md

Defines the core abstract and concrete types for representing windows over data, including parameters for length, offsets, padding, and processing direction.

```Julia
abstract type AbstractWindow end

@kwdef mutable struct BasicWindow <: AbstractWindow
    const length::Int              # span of contiguous elements
    
    direct::Bool=true              # process from low indices to high

    const onlywhole::Bool=true     # prohibit partial window
    const drop_first::Bool=true    # omit results at start¹, if needed²
    const drop_final::Bool=false   # omit results at finish¹, if needed²
end


@kwdef mutable struct Window{T} <: AbstractWindow
    const length::Int              # span of contiguous elements
    
    offset_first::Int=0            # start  at index offset_first + 1
    offset_final::Int=0            # finish at index length - offset_final + 1

    pad_first::Int=0               # pad with this many paddings at start
    pad_final::Int=0               # pad with this many padding at end
    const padding::T=nothing       # use this as the value with which to pad

    const direct::Bool=true        # process from low indices to high

    const onlywhole::Bool=true     # prohibit partial windows
    const drop_first::Bool=true    # omit results at start¹, if needed²
    const drop_final::Bool=false   # omit results at finish¹, if needed²

    const trim_first::Bool=false   # use partial windowing over first elements, if needed
    const trim_final::Bool=false   # use partial windowing over final elements, if needed
    
    const fill_first::Bool=true    # a simpler, often faster alternative to trim
    const fill_final::Bool=false   # a simpler, often faster alternative to trim
end

@kwdef mutable struct WeightedWindow{Pad,F,T} <: AbstractWindow
    window::Window{Pad}          # struct annotated above
    weightfun::F=nothing         # a function that yields the weights
    weighting::Vector{T}         # the weights collected
end
```
