I have a time series of data from an electroencephalogram (EEG). I wish to filter the data to get rid of 50Hz mains 'hum'. I have 'designed' a combination bandpass and notch filter using a web- site. The site returns the filter in "ANSI C" source code. It is:- /* Digital filter designed by mkfilter/mkshape/gencode A.J. Fisher Command line: /www/usr/fisher/helpers/mkfilter -Bu -Bp -o 5 -a 1.0000000000e-02 1.0000000000e-01 -Z 2.0000000000e-01 -l */ #define NZEROS 12 #define NPOLES 12 #define GAIN 1.548068051e+03 static float xv[NZEROS+1], yv[NPOLES+1]; static void filterloop() { for (;;) { xv[0] = xv[1]; xv[1] = xv[2]; xv[2] = xv[3]; xv[3] = xv[4]; xv[4] xv[5]; xv[5] = xv[6]; xv[6] = xv[7]; xv[7] = xv[8]; xv[8] = xv[9]; xv[9] xv[10]; xv[10] = xv[11]; xv[11] = xv[12]; xv[12] = `next input value' / GAIN; yv[0] = yv[1]; yv[1] = yv[2]; yv[2] = yv[3]; yv[3] = yv[4]; yv[4] yv[5]; yv[5] = yv[6]; yv[6] = yv[7]; yv[7] = yv[8]; yv[8] = yv[9]; yv[9] yv[10]; yv[10] = yv[11]; yv[11] = yv[12]; yv[12] = (xv[12] - xv[0]) + 0.6180339888 * (xv[1] - xv[11]) + 4 * (xv[2] - xv[10]) + 3.0901699437 * (xv[9] - xv[3]) + 5 * (xv[8] - xv[4]) + 6.1803398875 * (xv[5] - xv[7]) - 1.77636e-15 * xv[6] + ( -0.0000000000 * yv[0]) + ( -0.0000000000 * yv[1]) + ( -0.1555326685 * yv[2]) + ( 1.8017745109 * yv[3]) + ( -9.4758632417 * yv[4]) + ( 29.7961492230 * yv[5]) + (-62.0371858570 * yv[6]) + ( 89.3642283590 * yv[7]) + (-90.1867413610 * yv[8]) + ( 62.9470473210 * yv[9]) + (-29.0651076170 * yv[10]) + ( 8.0112312881 * yv[11]); `next output value' = yv[12]; } } I'd like to know how to incorporate this into my R code (or, better, I'd like to know how to design bandpass filters directly in R - the help file for the filter() function does not detail how to do this) Thank you Jonathan Williams Jonathan Williams OPTIMA Radcliffe Infirmary Woodstock Road OXFORD OX2 6HE Tel +1865 (2)24356
