AutoSmooth – Signal Extraction Toolbox

 

AutoSmooth is a graphical interface for signal and derivative extraction from time series with nonstationary noise structure based on matricial Whittaker’s filter and information theoretic learning. The tool is applicable in the numerical decoupling of any systems of nonlinear differential equations into algebraic equations, and can be applied in reverse engineering of mechanistic model descriptions from multivariate experimental biologic time series.

 

Note

 

The latest version of AutoSmooth application is now part of the Signal Extraction Toolbox, but it can still be downloaded separately from M.D.Anderson Cancer Center Bioinformatics Station.

 

Availability

 

The source code and stand alone application are provided at http://sourceforge.net/projects/autosmooth with free access and use, under a GNU GPL license. It can also be conveniently obtained as a module of the Bioinformatics Station resource (http://bioinformaticstation.org ).

 

 

 

Stand Alone Installation – Windows

 

1-    Run MATLAB Component Runtime (MCR) installer: http://bioinformaticstation.org/win/MCRInstaller.exe  (122 Mb).

2-    Download SETcompiled.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/autosmooth.

3-    Double click in Signal_Extraction_Toolbox.exe to start it.

4-    Important: MCR only works if you are connected to the internet.
