[SciPy-User] Signal to noise ratio

[Ariel Rokem]

Hi Warren,

thanks for this example!

I am getting the following error:

Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/signal/filter_design.py:224:
BadCoefficients: Badly conditionned filter coefficients (numerator): the
results may be meaningless
  "results may be meaningless", BadCoefficients)

For any attempt to filter a low-pass below 12 Hz in this example (so - I
don't get the plot you got - instead I get a flat line on the bottom
subplot). Do you (or anyone?) have any idea why that is?

Cheers,

Ariel
