Using a Savitzky–Golay filter

Given a noisy signal: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt np.random.seed(1) x = np.linspace(0,2*np.pi,100) y = np.sin(x) + np.random.random(100) * 0.2 plt.plot(x,y) plt.show() one can smooth it using a Savitzky–Golay filter using the scipy.signal.savgol_filter() method...
