simple examples of filter function, recursive option specifically

Question

I am seeking some simple (i.e. - no maths notation, long-form reproducible code) examples for the filter function in R I think I have my head around the convolu

Answer 1

Here's the example that I've found most helpful in visualizing what recursive filtering is really doing:

(x <- rep(1, 10))
# [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

as.vector(filter(x, c(1), method="recursive"))  ## Equivalent to cumsum()
#  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
as.vector(filter(x, c(0,1), method="recursive"))
#  [1] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5
as.vector(filter(x, c(0,0,1), method="recursive"))
#  [1] 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4
as.vector(filter(x, c(0,0,0,1), method="recursive"))
#  [1] 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3
as.vector(filter(x, c(0,0,0,0,1), method="recursive"))
#  [1] 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2
