Smoothing
In
statistics and
image processing, to
smooth a
data set is to create an approximating
function that attempts to capture important
patterns in the data, while leaving out
noise or other fine-scale structures/rapid phenomena. In smoothing, the data points of a signal are modified so individual points (presumably because of noise) are reduced, and points that are lower than the adjacent points are increased leading to a smoother signal. Smoothing may be used in two important ways that can aid in data analysis (1) by being able to extract more information from the data as long as the assumption of smoothing is reasonable and (2) by being able to provide analyses that are both flexible and robust. Many different
algorithms are used in smoothing.
