decimate

decimate(
    patch: Patch ,
    filter_type: Literal[‘iir’, ‘fir’, None] ,
    copy ,
    **kwargs ,
)-> Patch

Decimate a patch along a dimension.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
filter_type	filter type to use to avoid aliasing. Options are: iir - infinite impulse response fir - finite impulse response None - No pre-filtering
copy	If True, copy the decimated data array. This is needed if you want the old array to get gc’ed to free memory otherwise a view is returned. Only applies when filter_type == None.
**kwargs	Used to pass dimension and factor. For example `time=10` is 10x decimation along the time axis.

Note

Simply uses scipy.signal.decimate if filter_type is specified. Otherwise, just slice data long specified dimension only including every n samples.

Examples

# Simple example using iir
import dascore as dc
patch = dc.get_example_patch()
decimated_irr = patch.decimate(time=10, filter_type='iir')
# Example using fir along distance dimension
decimated_fir = patch.decimate(distance=10, filter_type='fir')
