# takanen2013_weightedaveragefilter - Compute the weighted or self-weighted average

## Usage

outsig = takanen2013_weightedaveragefilter(insig,weight,fs,timeconst)


## Input parameters

 insig signal from which the average is computed. Optionally, can be the same as the weight resulting in self-weighted average weight signal to be used as weight in the computation fs sampling rate timeconst time constant specifying the first-order IIR filter

## Output parameters

 outsig output signal

## Description

This function computes the either the weighted or the self-weighted average of the input signal using a first-order IIR filter whose time constant is specified by the timeconst argument. More details about the conputation can be found in Pulkki, Hirvonen 2009 (Sec. 3.2.3)
