2nd order butterworth filter and PCA

  I am performing a FFT on my accelerometer data, but I am having issues with the 2nd-order Butterworth filter and pca interpretation. Please find a snippet of my code below.

 

RE the 2nd-order Butterworth filter, I am trying to first, downsample to 100 Hz (haven't managed to do this yet), and then bandpass filter using a second-order Butterworth filter between 3-15 Hz. However, I keep getting the error: "The cutoff frequencies must be within the interval of (0,1). Would anyone be able to assist me with this - specifically, highlight where in the code I am going wrong?

 

Regarding the pca, the anwser below (bolded) is the anwser from the pca. The columns represent 'x, z, y' - does this suggest that the Y is the most dominant (movement-centred) axis of tremor acceleration? From plotting, this seems correct but I'd like some confirmation (plot not included in the code provided below).

With respect to downsampling, use the resample function. I wouldn’t downsample the signal unless you absolutely must for some reason. Most of the time, I use resample to create a unifformly-sampled  signal from a non-uniformly-sampled signal, since all signal processing requires uniform sampling. If you do decide to downsample, be sure to change ‘Fs’ to reflect that, if you’re doing the filtering after the downsampling.

 

I don’t understand this assignmment:

 

srate = 5000;

If ‘srate’ is your sampling rate, it’s actually ‘Fs’, the sampling frequency, so assign it to ‘Fs’ instead. That’s also the indirect cause of the error you’re getting.
