1002	 A Rapid Method for Digital Filtering	 Since much of the computer time spent in time-series analysis is used for multiplications a minimum multiplication method was devised for digital filtering with the expectation that it would be useful in the on line real-time analysis of biological data. The filters are constructed from a succession of readily analyzable components in a manner that facilitates cascading. The repertoire of frequency response curves includes relatively good low-pass and band-pass designs. Programs are available for implementing both the synthesis of these filters and their application on computers whose assemblers allow the definition of recursive macros.
