Filter/smoothing of multidimensional data with an specified window function, ignoring NaNs.

ndnanfilter(X,HWIN,F,DIM,WINOPT,PADOPT,WNAN)
function [Y,W] = ndnanfilter(X,HWIN,F,DIM,WINOPT,PADOPT,WNAN)
% NDNANFILTER   N-dimensional zero-phase digital filter, ignoring NaNs.
%
%   Syntax:
%         Y = ndnanfilter(X,HWIN,F);
%         Y = ndnanfilter(X,HWIN,F,DIM);
%         Y = ndnanfilter(X,HWIN,F,DIM,WINOPT);
%         Y = ndnanfilter(X,HWIN,F,DIM,WINOPT,PADOPT);
%         Y = ndnanfilter(X,HWIN,F,DIM,WINOPT,PADOPT,WNAN);
%     [Y,W] = ndnanfilter(...);
%
%   Input:
%     X      - Data to be filtered with/without NaNs.
%     HWIN   - Window function handle (or name) or numeric multidimensional
%              window to be used (without NaNs). See WINDOW for details.   
%              Default:   @rectwin  or 'rectwin' (moving average).
%     F      - A vector specifying the semi-width of the window for each
%              dimension. The final window's width will be 2*F+1. 
%              Default: 3 (i.e. a 1-dimensional window of width 6).
%     DIM    - If F is a single scalar, the window will be applied through
%              this dimension; otherwise, this will be ignored. 
%              Default: columns (or the first non-singleton dimension).
%     WINOPT - Cell array specifying optional arguments for the window
%              function HWIN (in addition to the width). 
%              Default: {} (window's defaults).
%     PADOPT - Cell array specifying the optional arguments for the
%              PADARRAY MATLAB's function (in addition to the array X and
%              the padsize: 2*F+1). If the function is not found, data is
%              padded with zeros or the specified value: try {mean(X(:))}
%              for example.
%              Default: {'replicate'} (repeats border elements of X).
%              Default: {0} (pads with zeros if PADARRAY not found).
%     WNAN   - Integer indicating NaNs treatment and program behaviour!:
%              0: Filters data and interpolates NaNs         (default). 
%              1: Filters data but do not interpolates NaNs 
%              2: "Do not filters data" but interpolates NaNs!
%              See the NOTEs below
%
%   Output:
%     Y      - Filtered X data (same size as X!).
%     W      - N-dimensional window with central symmetry generated by a
%              special subfunction called NDWIND. See the description below
%              for details.
%
%   Description:
%     This function applies a N-dimensional convolution of X with W, using
%     the MATLAB's IMFILTER or CONVN function. One important aspect of the
%     function is the generation of the N-dimensional window (W) from the
%     specified function and width, which cannot be done with MATLAB's
%     functions. Besides, unlike MATLAB's FILTER, FILTER2 and IMFILTER,
%     NaNs elements are taken into account (ignored).
%
%     The N-dimensional window is generated from rotating the 1-dimensional
%     output of the HWIN function, through each of the N-dimensions, and
%     then shrinking it through each of its axes in order to fit the
%     specified semi-widths (F). This is done in the included subfunction
%     named NDWIND. In this way, the window has central symmetry and do not
%     produce a phase shift on X data.
%
%     By default, the edges are padded with the values of X at the borders
%     with the PADARRAY MATLAB's function. In this way, the edges are
%     treated smoothly. When PADARRAY is not found, the program performs
%     zero-padding.
%
%   Notes: 
%     * The use of semi-widths F's is to force the generated window to be
%       even and, therefore, the change of phase is null.  
%     * The window function HWIN should output an even function, otherwise,
%       it won't generate an error but the user should be aware that this
%       program will consider only the last half of it.
%     * The function window should return a monotonically decreasing
%       result, this restriction is because I try to avoid the use of FZERO
%       function, for example, to find the expanding/shrinking factors.
%     * If the user has an already generated window, it can be used in HWIN
%       instead of a function handle or name. 
%     * Accepts empty value for any input. When X is empty, the program can
%       be used as a N-dimensional window generator.
%     * NaNs elements surrounded by no-NaNs elements (which will depend on
%       window width) are the ones that will be interpolated. The others
%       are leaved untouched.
%     * When WNAN=2, the programs acts like an NAN-interpolat/GAP-filling,
%       leaving untouched the no-NaNs elements but the filtering is
%       perfomed anyway. I recomend the default behaviour (WNAN=0) in order
%       to keep the filtered data in the workspace, and then use the code
%       at the end of this function to get/remove the interpolated NaNs
%       (see the example).
%     * The program looks for the IMFILTER and PADARRAY functions from the
%       Image Processing Toolbox. If not found, then CONVN is used instead
%       (slower) and pads with zeros or the given value. In this latter
%       case, if border elements are NaNs, the window won't work properly.
%
%   Example:
%     FWIN = 'hamming';
%     F = [13 8];
%     N = 100;
%     Pnoise = 0.30;
%     PNaNs  = 0.20;
%     X = peaks(N);                                     % original
%     Y = X + ((rand(size(X))-0.5)*2)*max(X(:))*Pnoise; % add noise
%     Y(round(1 + (N^2-1).*rand(N^2*PNaNs,1))) = NaN;   % add NaNs
%     [Z0,W] = ndnanfilter(Y,FWIN,F);                   % filters
%     Z1 = Z0; Z2 = Y; inan = isnan(Y);

function W = ndwind(HWIN,F,varargin)
% NDWIND Generate a N-Dimensional zero-phase window.
%
%   Syntax:
%     W = ndwind(HWIN,F);
%     W = ndwind(HWIN,F,OPT);
%
%   Input:
%     HWIN - Window function handle. See WINDOW for details. By default
%            uses: @rectwin (a rectangular window).
%     F    - A vector specifying the semiwidth of the window for each
%            dimension. The window's width will be 2*F+1. By default uses:
%            3 (i.e. a window of width 6). 
%     OPT  - Cell array specifying optional arguments for the window
%            function. By default uses: {[]} (window's defaults).
%
%   Output:
%     W    - N-Dimensional window with central symmetry.
%
%   Description:
%     In the axes of each dimension, W has a 1-D window defined as
%              feval(HWIN,2*F(n)+1), n = 1,...,N.
%     That is, they are defined by the same window function but have
%     different widths. So, this program creates another widther window (at
%     least 201 points), with the same definition, and finds how much the
%     former windows should be expanded in order to fit the latter one. 
%
%     Afterwards, the coordinates of every point are expanded accordingly
%     and the value of the window in those points are found by linear
%     interpolation with the bigger window. 
%
%     In resume, it is like rotating this big window through every
%     dimension and then shrinking it through each of its axes to fix the
%     specified widths.
%
%   Notes: 
%     * Because of the use of the semi-widths F's, all the generated
%       windows are even. Therefore the change of phase is null. 
%     * The window function HWIN should output an even function, otherwise,
%       it won't generate an error but this program will consider only the
%       last half of it.
%     * The window should be monotonically decreasing.
%     * Instead of the handle window, it can be given as a string:
%       'hamming' instead of @hamming, for example.
%     * Uses the MATLAB's function FUNC2STR.
%
%   Example:
%     W = ndwind(@hamming,[3 2])
%     % Results:
%     W =
%
