What is downsampling in Python?

Downsampling refers to removing records from majority classes in order to create a more balanced dataset. The simplest way of downsampling majority classes is by randomly removing records from that category.

How do you downsample a signal in Python?

Downsample the signal after applying an anti-aliasing filter. By default, an order 8 Chebyshev type I filter is used. A 30 point FIR filter with Hamming window is used if ftype is 'fir'. The signal to be downsampled, as an N-dimensional array.

How do you downsample a signal?

y = downsample( x , n ) decreases the sample rate of x by keeping the first sample and then every n th sample after the first. If x is a matrix, the function treats each column as a separate sequence. y = downsample( x , n , phase ) specifies the number of samples by which to offset the downsampled sequence.

What is meant by down sampling?

(1) To make a digital audio signal smaller by lowering its sampling rate or sample size (bits per sample). Downsampling is done to decrease the bit rate when transmitting over a limited bandwidth or to convert to a more limited audio format. Contrast with upsample.
