[SciPy-user] newbie trouble with lfilter

[Joseph Anderson]

Hello Stéfan,

Thanks for the reply on this.

As I look at Ticket #331, this doesn't exactly describe the situation I'm encountering. My problem involves supplying and recovering the state (for a 2-d array).

At least for a 2-d array (which is what I'm interested in for my problem), lfilter appears to work correctly, given the condition that one doesn't want to supply the initial state (zi) and recover the final state (zf) of the filter. The code listed below seems to work, giving the expected result.

For my application, however, it is important for me to be able to supply and recover the state.

I'm presuming, then, that the way forward for the immediate future is to just unwind my 2-d array by hand and process as 1-d arrays. Ah, well, but for the state problem, was working fine for me, otherwise.



# **************************************
# test filter: 2-d array
#
# **************************************
from numpy import *
from numpy.random import *
from scipy.signal import *

# order and cutoff
N = 1
freq = 0.1

# signal, two channels
x = array([uniform(-1., 1., 8), zeros(8)]).transpose()

# design filter
b, a = butter(N, freq)

# filter
y = lfilter(b, a, x, 0)

print "b, a:", b, a
print "x:", x
print "y:", y

This should never happen.  A bug is filed at
