fastsmooth.m

Interactive smoothing for time-series signals, with sliders that allow you to adjust the smoothing

function SmoothY=fastsmooth(Y,smoothwidth)
%  fastsmooth(Y,w) smooths vector Y by triangular
% smooth of width = smoothwidth. Works well with signals up to 
% 100,000 points in length and smooth widths up to 1000 points. 
% Faster than tsmooth for smooth widths above 600 points.
