<span class="gmail-">></span><br>
<span class="gmail-">> I tried to replicate it with EEGLAB iirfilt() but the filter order was only 6. How did you calculate this number?</span><br>
Not sure whether I understand the question.<br>
<br>
Do you mean how I estimated the order (4) of the Butterworth filter in my example to be "roughly equivalent“ to the FIR variant? This was just a wild guess based on experience. In case necessary I could check how rough "roughly equivalent" really is. But note
that the EEGLAB iirfilt-plugin does implement an Elliptic and not a Butterworth IIR filter.<br>
<br>
Or do you mean the comparison of your iirfilt order (6) to the impulse response duration (20592) of my example? One cannot directly compare the order of IIR and FIR filters. This is a (unfortunately common) misconception. For FIR filters (implemented by convolution)
the order equals the duration of the impulse response (minus one sample). This does not hold for IIR filters implemented *recursively*. However, even if the impulse response of IIR filters is infinite by definition in digital implementations it is practically
limited by numerical precision. That is, you can compute the impulse response of a digital IIR filter which is now also finite and can be applied by convolution exactly like a FIR filter finally giving the same result (within limits of numerical precision).<br>
<br>
In MATLAB you compute the impulse response with impz (see the code example in my previous post). If I remember correctly you may specify required numerical precision as an input argument to impz. I trusted the default here. You have to get the filter coefficients
(b, a) of your EEGLAB iirfilt filter and feed them to impz. The length of the resulting impulse response times two is the duration to be compared to the order (or IR duration) of a FIR filter. Times two because you have to apply the non-linear phase IIR derived
filter in forward and reverse direction (to get zero-phase).<br>
<br>
Does this help? Best,<br>
Andreas<o:p></o:p></p>

in cutoff frequency may matter. You do filter the continuous data, that is, epoch length does not directly influence the filter effects. High-pass filter distortions (mainly due to larger late and slow components biasing smaller early and fast components)
were shown empirically several times, e.g. most convincingly by Acunzo et al.<br>

if noise level really requires this and it is properly demonstrated that filter distortions do not bias the conclusions. But people always ask for general recommendations and you have to be on the save side...<br>
><br>
> (2) IIR vs. FIR<br>
> In the first part you argue against long impulse response durations. For IIR filters these are usually even (considerably) longer. Besides other issues (as the non-linear phase property of IIR filters and its side-effects) this is the main reason why I do
not recommend IIR filters for offline processing in electrophysiology/ERPs. Following your example with a slightly higher cutoff of 0.1 Hz and a Hamming windowed sinc FIR filter you will have a impulse response duration of 4127 samples (~16s). A roughly equivalent
Butterworth filter will have an estimated effective (numerically relevant) impulse response duration of 20592 samples (~82s!):<br>

only interested in the first few hundreds milliseconds of the averaged signal. And they subtract pre-stimulus baseline mean value from the entire epoch anyway. I don't see much reason to apply 0.1-Hz high-pass filter in these cases. Of course, I saw papers
discussing this issue and I have no objection, but intuitively it is still weird to me. I think the point is that people want to claim that ERP is a broadband phenomenon, but the way they demonstrate it is not satisfactory to me.<br>

0.1-Hz high-pass for 0.8 sec epoch data? This kind of unbalancedness makes me feel weird.<br>
