Hi guys:

I diged out my old Clean manuals and tried everything starting from 
foldr, list-comprehension, function composition (f o g o g), but I did 
fail and my general solution is as follows:

==
module stat
import StdEnv

       
meanFromList:: [Real] Real -> Real
meanFromList ls nan
    # ls_nan = filter ((<) nan) ls
    # n = length(ls_nan)
    | n > 0 = sum(ls_nan)/toReal(n)
    | otherwise = nan
   
   
qMeans:: [Real] Real Int -> [Real]
qMeans [] nan q = []
qMeans ls nan q = [(meanFromList (take q ls) nan):(qMeans (drop q ls) 
nan q)]


Start =  qMeans [toReal(x) \\ x<-[1..100]] (-1.0) 2
==

The solution needs the following Clean standard functions: filter, 
length, sum, take and drop.

The overhead of take and drop is negligible.

S. Gonzi
PS: Or if you like where:
==
qMeans:: [Real] Real Int -> [Real]
qMeans [] nan q = []
qMeans ls nan q = [(meanFromList (take q ls) nan):(qMeans (drop q ls) 
nan q)]
where
        meanFromList:: [Real] Real -> Real
        meanFromList ls nan
                # ls_nan = filter ((<) nan) ls
                # n = length(ls_nan)
                | n > 0 = sum(ls_nan)/toReal(n)
                | otherwise = nan
==
