The most accurate answer is always “that depends”. The simple answer is no. If you take a look at some of the papers from the 90’s you can find suggestions on doing filtering on the first point in the series. The gotcha is that it does impact the first point. The claim is that if you do it right, it does not impact the rest of the points in the series.
