What is the difference between Filtfilt and filter?
You can see that although filter() and filtfilt() both remove the high frequency noise, the use of filter() introduces significant phase delay. filtfilt() has zero phase delay. Further, at t=0, the output of filter() starts at 0, whereas the output of filtfilt() has matched the initial conditions exactly 2.
What is Filtfilt function?
y = filtfilt( b , a , x ) performs zero-phase digital filtering by processing the input data x in both the forward and reverse directions. After filtering the data in the forward direction, the function reverses the filtered sequence and runs it back through the filter.
