The decimate() function in the Octave signal package produces a result which is incompatible with the Matlab implementation if a FIR filter is used. Example:


decimate(1:100, 2, 'fir')


I think this is due to the fact that the decimate function calls the fftfilt() function when a FIR filter is specified, which produces a phase shift. When an IIR filter is specified, decimate() calls filtfilt(), which corrects for the phase shift. Changing line 88 in the code to


y = filtfilt (b, 1, x);


produces the same output as the Matlab function.

Hope this helps,
Geert
