b = sgolay(k,f) designs a Savitzky-Golay FIR smoothing filter b. The polynomial order k must be less than the frame size, f, which must be odd. If k = f-1, the designed filter produces no smoothing. The output, b, is an f-by-f matrix whose rows represent the time-varying FIR filter coefficients. In a smoothing filter implementation (for example,sgolayfilt), the last (f-1)/2 rows (each an FIR filter) are applied to the signal during the startup transient, and the first (f-1)/2 rows are applied to the signal during the terminal transient. The center row is applied to the signal in the steady state.
b = sgolay(k,f,w) specifies a weighting vector w with length f, which contains the real, positive-valued weights to be used during the least-squares minimization.
[b,g] = sgolay(...) returns the matrix g of differentiation filters. Each column of g is a differentiation filter for derivatives of order p-1 where p is the column index. Given a signal x of length f, you can find an estimate of the pth order derivative, xp, of its middle value from:
xp((f+1)/2) = (factorial(p)) * g(:,p+1)' * x
b = sgolay(k,f) b = sgolay(k,f,w) [b,g] = sgolay(...)
