Dear Forum
This problem is quite similar to a moving average, but it has two differences, which I am struggling to overcome. It is applicable to a heterogeneous time series with dependent x and y values, i.e., {time, x, y}, where the temporal variations in x and y are of interest.
1) It would be preferable to have a sliding window based on a time interval rather than the number of data, e.g., 0.5 s, 5 min., 50 years, etc.
2) Instead of a moving average I would like to apply some expression over the moving time interval that uses both x and y, e.g.,
Total[Cos(x)*Sin(y)]/Total[Cos(x)*Cos(y)]
A fresh approach would be much appreciated
