The idea of the Savitzky Golay filter is to find filter-coefficients that preserve higher moments, which means to approximate the underlying function within the moving window by a polynomial of higher order (typically quadratic or quartic) (see A. Savitzky and M. J. E. Golay, ''Smoothing and Differentiation of Data by Simplified Least Squares Procedures'').

Note
The Savitzky Golay filter works only on uniform data (to generate equally spaced data use the Resampler tool).

The command line parameters of this tool are:

stty: 'standard input': Inappropriate ioctl for device

NoiseFilterSGolay -- Removes noise from profile spectra by using a Savitzky Golay filter (on uniform (equidistant) data).

Usage:
  NoiseFilterSGolay <options>

This tool has algorithm parameters that are not shown here! Please check the ini file for a detailed description or use the --helphelp option

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*        Input raw data file  (valid formats: 'mzML')
  -out <file>*       Output raw data file  (valid formats: 'mzML')
                     
Common TOPP options:
  -ini <file>        Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>       Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')
  -write_ini <file>  Writes the default configuration file
  --help             Shows options
  --helphelp         Shows all options (including advanced)

The following configuration subsections are valid:
