savgol: Savitzky-Golay Smoothing

Description

Polynomial filtering method of Savitzky and Golay.

Usage

savgol(T, fl, forder = 4, dorder = 0)

Arguments

T

Vector of signals to be filtered.

fl

Filter length (for instance fl = 51..151), has to be odd.

forder

Filter order (2 = quadratic filter, 4 = quartic).

dorder

Derivative order (0 = smoothing, 1 = first derivative, etc.).

Value

• Vector representing the smoothed time series.

Details

Savitzky-Golay smoothing performs a local polynomial regression on a series of values which are treated as being equally spaced to determine the smoothed value for each point. Methods are also provided for calculating derivatives.

Examples

# *** Sinosoid test function ***
ts <- sin(2*pi*(1:1000)/200)
t1 <- ts + rnorm(1000)/10
t2 <- savgol(t1, 51)
plot(1:1000, t1)
lines(1:1000, ts, col="blue")
lines(1:1000, t2, col="red")
