gaussfilt(t,z,sigma​)

Function to smooth a time series using a Gaussian filter.

You are now following this Submission

A non-GUI function that will smooth a time series using a simple Gaussian filter.
Usage:
zfilt = gaussfilt(t,z,sigma);
where t & z define the time series (t independent variable and z is data vector), and sigma defines the standard deviation (width) of the Gaussian filter.
