R Weighted moving average with partial averages - r

Question

I am trying to code in R a(centered) weighted moving average function that returns me a vector of the same size than the input vector.
The following code almost gives me what I want but it does not work for the first and last values of my vector
set.seed(0)
len=10
x=floor(l*runif(l))
weights=c(1,3,0,3,1)
weights=weights/sum(weights)
rollapply(x,width=length(weights), function(x) sum(x*weights),align="center")
na.omit(filter(x,sides=2,weights))
Setting partial=TRUE in the rollapply function is sort of what I want to do. Anyway it does not work since my function does not support an x of changing sizes.
I could the latter and manually add the sides computations with a loop. It would work but I would like to find a nicer (computationally faster) way to do it.
For a more rigorous description of my needs here is a mathematical version
r is the vector my function would return
x and the weights w as inputs :

With Rcpp, you can do:
#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericVector roll_mean(const NumericVector& x,
const NumericVector& w) {
int n = x.size();
int w_size = w.size();
int size = (w_size - 1) / 2;
NumericVector res(n);
int i, ind_x, ind_w;
double w_sum = Rcpp::sum(w), tmp_wsum, tmp_xwsum, tmp_w;
// beginning
for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
tmp_xwsum = tmp_wsum = 0;
for (ind_x = i + size, ind_w = w_size - 1; ind_x >= 0; ind_x--, ind_w--) {
tmp_w = w[ind_w];
tmp_wsum += tmp_w;
tmp_xwsum += x[ind_x] * tmp_w;
}
res[i] = tmp_xwsum / tmp_wsum;
}
// middle
int lim2 = n - size;
for (; i < lim2; i++) {
tmp_xwsum = 0;
for (ind_x = i - size, ind_w = 0; ind_w < w_size; ind_x++, ind_w++) {
tmp_xwsum += x[ind_x] * w[ind_w];
}
res[i] = tmp_xwsum / w_sum;
}
// end
for (; i < n; i++) {
tmp_xwsum = tmp_wsum = 0;
for (ind_x = i - size, ind_w = 0; ind_x < n; ind_x++, ind_w++) {
tmp_w = w[ind_w];
tmp_wsum += tmp_w;
tmp_xwsum += x[ind_x] * tmp_w;
}
res[i] = tmp_xwsum / tmp_wsum;
}
return res;
}
I use this function in one of my packages.
Just put that in a .cpp file and source it with Rcpp::sourceCpp.
