I have a suggestion for kernapply for ts objects. When we choose the

That's a matter of opinion. A kernel is applied in the same way as an
MA filter, to historical data.
removed dates are all at the beginning instead of half at the beginning
and half at the end. It is particularly useful when we need to smooth
the series (or remove a trend using a filter) before estimating a model
(like in macroeconomics) or simply to plot the original series with the
smoothed one. Of course, there is always the option of doing it by hand
of the use circular=T and trim the series but I thought it would be
nicer that way.
Here is my suggestion (maybe not the nicest way to do it but it works)
kernapply.ts <- function (x, k, circular = FALSE, ...)
{
if (!is.matrix(x))
{
y <- kernapply.vector(as.vector(x), k, circular=circular)
ts (y, end=end(x), frequency=frequency(x))
}
else
y <- apply(x, MARGIN=2L, FUN=kernapply, k, circular=circular)
if(circular)
ts (y, end=end(x), frequency=frequency(x))
else
{
y <- as.ts(y)
t1 <- tsp(x)[1]+(length(k[[1]])-1)/tsp(x)[3]
t2 <- tsp(x)[2]-(length(k[[1]])-1)/tsp(x)[3]
tsp(y) <- c(t1,t2,tsp(x)[3])
return(y)
}
}
