Smooth response data
Syntax
yy = smooth(y)
gpuarrayYY = smooth(gpuarrayY)
yy = smooth(y,span)
yy = smooth(y,method
)
yy = smooth(y,span,method
)
yy = smooth(y,'sgolay',degree)
yy = smooth(y,span,'sgolay',degree)
yy = smooth(x,y,...)
Description
yy = smooth(y)
smooths the data in the column vector y
using a moving average filter. Results are returned in the column vector yy
. The default span for the moving average is 5
.
The first few elements of yy
are given by
yy(1) = y(1) yy(2) = (y(1) + y(2) + y(3))/3 yy(3) = (y(1) + y(2) + y(3) + y(4) + y(5))/5 yy(4) = (y(2) + y(3) + y(4) + y(5) + y(6))/5 ...
Because of the way endpoints are handled, the result differs from the result returned by the filter
function.
gpuarrayYY = smooth(gpuarrayY)
performs the operation on a GPU. The input gpuarrayY
is a gpuArray column vector. The output gpuarrayYY
is a gpuArray column vector. This syntax requires the Parallel Computing Toolbox™.
Note: You can use gpuArray x and y inputs with the smooth function, but this is only recommended with the default |
yy = smooth(y,span)
sets the span of the moving average to span
. span
must be odd.
yy = smooth(y,
smooths the data in method
)y
using the method method
and the default span. Supported values for method
are listed in the table below.
| Description |
---|---|
| Moving average (default). A lowpass filter with filter coefficients equal to the reciprocal of the span. |
| Local regression using weighted linear least squares and a 1st degree polynomial model |
| Local regression using weighted linear least squares and a 2nd degree polynomial model |
| Savitzky-Golay filter. A generalized moving average with filter coefficients determined by an unweighted linear least-squares regression and a polynomial model of specified degree (default is 2). The method can accept nonuniform predictor data. |

yy = smooth(y,span,
sets the span of method
)method
to span
. For the loess
and lowess
methods, span
is a percentage of the total number of data points, less than or equal to 1. For the moving average and Savitzky-Golay methods, span
must be odd (an even span
is automatically reduced by 1
).
yy = smooth(y,'sgolay',degree)
uses the Savitzky-Golay method with polynomial degree specified by degree
.
yy = smooth(y,span,'sgolay',degree)
uses the number of data points specified by span
in the Savitzky-Golay calculation. span
must be odd and degree
must be less than span
.
yy = smooth(x,y,...)
additionally specifies x
data. If x
is not provided, methods that require x
data assume x = 1:length(y)
. You should specify x
data when it is not uniformly spaced or sorted. If x
is not uniform and you do not specify method
, lowess
is used. If the smoothing method requires x
to be sorted, the sorting occurs automatically.
