1.6.12.2. Detrending a signalΒΆ

scipy.signal.detrend() removes a linear trend.

Generate a random signal with a trend

import numpy as np
t = np.linspace(0, 5, 100)
x = t + np.random.normal(size=100)

Detrend

from scipy import signal
x_detrended = signal.detrend(x)

Plot

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.figure(figsize=(5, 4))
plt.plot(t, x, label="x")
plt.plot(t, x_detrended, label="x_detrended")
plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()
