Savitzky-Golay smoothing and differentiation


Description

Savitzky-Golay smoothing and derivative of a data matrix or vector.

Usage

savitzkyGolay(X, m, p, w, delta.wav)

Arguments

X

a numeric matrix or vector to process (optionally a data frame that can be coerced to a numerical matrix).

m

the differentiation order.

p

the polynomial order.

w

a window size (must be odd).

delta.wav

(optional) sampling interval.

Details

The Savitzky-Golay algorithm fits a local polynomial regression on the signal. It requires evenly spaced data points. Mathematically, it operates simply as a weighted sum over a given window:

where \(x_j\ast\) is the new value, \(N\) is a normalizing coefficient, \(k\) is the gap size on each side of \(j\) and \(c_h\) are pre-computed coefficients, that depends on the chosen polynomial order and degree.

The sampling interval specified with the delta.wav argument is used for scaling and get numerically correct derivatives.

The convolution function is written in C++/Rcpp for faster computations.
