Filter time-variant data and reduce its length
显示 更早的评论
Hi experts,
I have a time-variant test data. The 1st column is time, and the 2nd column is data. There is a serious fluctuation of it. I want to filter the data and at the same time want to reduce its length.
Could somebody guide me how to do this? Thank you!

It seems like you are trying to plot step-response of a system. Try something like this
data = load('data.csv');
t = data(1:100,1);
y = data(1:100,2);
y = smoothdata(y, 'sgolay', 20);
plot(t, y)
It reduces the length by taking the first 100 elements and smoothening the signal.

Yes, The system reaches its steady-state after a few seconds. The rest of the data is redundant. This gives the full response of the system.

Take a look at medfilt1 and/or movmean. They sould help you reduce the fluctuations. To reduce the data length you just index the time you want:
idx1 = 100;
idx2 = 900;
Data = Data(idx1:idx2,:); % Data = Length x 2 matrix
In this example your data will go only from meausurement point 100 to measurement point 900.
