[julia-users] Equivalent of Matlab zpk()?

2015-07-31 Thread Joe Tusek
I've been translating some Matlab code for calculating a spectral optimisation function that uses Matlab's zpk() function and I can't find an equivalent in Julia packages. The DSP.jl looks like its a start on a well appointed package but is a bit thin at this stage. Is there anything out there

I've got great assistance from the user-group, but I'm not wanting to wear out my welcome. Overall I find Julia documents good but lacking in the number and breadth of examples that would help fill in the missing bits for a person like me. The many web examples of Julia out there are at presen

Its embarrassing but where can you ask for some to provide offline assistance with porting over Matlab code to Julia, its exhausted me for now but I still need to get the code working?

In Juno when I get errors in my code I get pink message boxes either inline or at the end or both. But after a while I get an accumulation of boxes and I cannot clear them. They just stack up and clutter the editor space. Right clicking on the older ones only gives an evaluate and other not usef

I was exploring passing functions to functions and wrote the following function z(x,y) x+y end function zz(z) end g = zz(2,3)# gives a result g = 5 function zzz(zz) end c = zzz(1,7) #no result, claims that zzz has no methods for two int64 arguments. Why is that? I would expec

Tom thanks, sorry to be asking such basic questions, I have access to the reference manual but can't get enough out of it to see what the correct syntax is. I settled on trying just some simple code as below that was making a structure DB and then trying to make an array of 100 elements with th

Hi, I am trying to convert some Matlab code where structured data variables were used that were composed of complex and real data which is passed to a function. The original Matlab call was [poles, L2] = PSO("FLBF",lb,ub,poles,data) and data is of the form data.Y and data.w, where Y is a compl

2015-07-25 Thread Joe Tusek
The lack of this specific issue appearing in say Python may be that the relative speed penalty is not that large? It seems that one of the strong features of Julia is its speed, having to deal with complex numbers in this way means that people have to pay more attention to coding than when usin

O.k., should I be writing all my Julia with variables defined as complex so as to avoid runtime assignment errors that may arise when outcomes of calculations result in complex numbers such as square roots of negative numbers or eigen values etc? Will there be a performance penalty coding this

Having come from Electrical Engineering with a Matlab background and being new to Julia, I can't understand why assignment of complex numbers was not automatic (e.g. sqrt(-3)). In many scientific and engineering endeavours the occurrence of complex numbers is very common and not always able to b
