/**
* This class implements a linear, digital filter. All types of FIR and IIR
* filters are supported. Static factory methods are provided to create commonly
* used types of filters.
*
* Filters are of the form:
* y[n] = (b0*x[n] + b1*x[n-1] + ... + bP*x[n-P) - (a0*y[n-1] + a2*y[n-2] + ... + aQ*y[n-Q])
*
* Where:
* y[n] is the output at time "n"
* x[n] is the input at time "n"
* y[n-1] is the output from the LAST time step ("n-1")
* x[n-1] is the input from the LAST time step ("n-1")
* b0...bP are the "feedforward" (FIR) gains
* a0...aQ are the "feedback" (IIR) gains
* IMPORTANT! Note the "-" sign in front of the feedback term! This is a common
* convention in signal processing.
*
* What can linear filters do? Basically, they can filter, or diminish, the
* effects of undesirable input frequencies. High frequencies, or rapid changes,
* can be indicative of sensor noise or be otherwise undesirable. A "low pass"
* filter smooths out the signal, reducing the impact of these high frequency
* components. Likewise, a "high pass" filter gets rid of slow-moving signal
* components, letting you detect large changes more easily.
*
* Example FRC applications of filters:
* - Getting rid of noise from an analog sensor input (note: the roboRIO's FPGA
* can do this faster in hardware)
* - Smoothing out joystick input to prevent the wheels from slipping or the
* robot from tipping
* - Smoothing motor commands so that unnecessary strain isn't put on
* electrical or mechanical components
* - If you use clever gains, you can make a PID controller out of this class!
*
* For more on filters, I highly recommend the following articles:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_filter
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iir_filter
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fir_filter
*
* Note 1: PIDGet() should be called by the user on a known, regular period.
* You can set up a Notifier to do this (look at the WPILib PIDController
* class), or do it "inline" with code in a periodic function.
*
* Note 2: For ALL filters, gains are necessarily a function of frequency. If
* you make a filter that works well for you at, say, 100Hz, you will most
* definitely need to adjust the gains if you then want to run it at 200Hz!
* Combining this with Note 1 - the impetus is on YOU as a developer to make
* sure PIDGet() gets called at the desired, constant frequency!
