filter_zi {gsignal}R Documentation

Filter initial conditions

Description

Construct initial conditions for a filter

Usage

filter_zi(filt, ...)

## Default S3 method:
filter_zi(filt, a, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Arma'
filter_zi(filt, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Ma'
filter_zi(filt, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Sos'
filter_zi(filt, ...)

Arguments

filt

For the default case, the moving-average coefficients of an ARMA filter (normally called b), specified as a vector.

...

additional arguments (ignored).

a

the autoregressive (recursive) coefficients of an ARMA filter, specified as a vector.

Details

This function computes an initial state for the filter function that corresponds to the steady state of the step response. In other words, it finds the initial condition for which the response to an input of all ones is a constant. Therefore, the results returned by this function can also be obtained using the function filtic by setting x and y to all 1s (see the examples).

A typical use of this function is to set the initial state so that the output of the filter starts at the same value as the first element of the signal to be filtered.

Value

The initial state for the filter, returned as a vector.

Examples

## taken from Python scipy.signal.lfilter_zi documentation

h <- butter(5, 0.25)
zi <- filter_zi(h)
y <- filter(h, rep(1, 10), zi)
## output is all 1, as expected.
y2 <- filter(h, rep(1, 10))
## if the zi argument is not given, the output
## does not return the final conditions

x <- c(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
y <- filter(h, x, zi = zi*x[1])
## Note that the zi argument to filter was computed using
## filter_zi and scaled by x[1]. Then the output y has no
## transient until the input drops from 0.5 to 0.0.

## obtain the same results with filtic
lab <- max(length(h$b), length(h$a)) - 1
ic <- filtic(h, rep(1, lab), rep(1, lab))
all.equal(zi, ic)
