mckd(x,filterSize,termIter,plotMode,T,M)

Description:
This method tries to deconvolve a periodic series of impulses from
a 1d vector. It does this by designing a FIR filter to maximize
a norm criterion called Correlated Kurtosis. This method is has
applications in fault detection of rotating machinery (such as
ball bearing and gear faults).

Algorithm Reference:
(Paper link coming soon. If you are interested in this, please
contact me at glmcdona@gmail.com. I will add the link if/when the
paper is available online)

Example Usage:
% We want to extract the periodic impulses
% from the very strong white noise!
n = 0:999;
x = 3*(mod(n,100)==0) + randn(size(n));
[y_final f_final ck_iter] = mckd(x,400,30,100,7,1); % M = 7
% T = 100

Inputs:
x:
Signal to perform deconvolution on. This should be a 1d vector.
MCKD will be performed on this vector by designing a FIR
filter.

filterSize:
This is the length of the finite impulse filter filter to
design. Using a value of around 100 is appropriate depending on
the data. Investigate the performance difference using
different values.

termIter: (OPTIONAL)
This is the termination number of iterations. If the
the number of iterations exceeds this number, the MCKD process
will complete. Specify [] to use default value of 30.

T:
This is the period for the deconvolution. The algorithm will
try to deconvolve periodic impulses separated by this period.
This period should be specified in number of samples and can be
fractional (such as 106.29). In the case of a fractional T, the
method will resample the data to the nearest larger integer T:
i.e. 106.29 -> 107
and the y_final output will still be at this resampled factor.

M:
This is the shift order of the deconvolution algorithm.
Typically an integer value between 1 and 5 is good. Increasing
the number increases the number of periodic impulses it tries
to find in a row. For example M = 5 would try to extract at
least 5 impulses in a row. When you use a larger M you need a
better estimate of T. Using too large a M (approx M > 10) will
result in a loss of numerical precision.

plotMode:
If this value is > 0, plots will be generated of the iterative
performance and of the resulting signal.

Outputs:
y_final:
The input signal x filtered by the resulting MCKD filter.
This is obtained simply as: y_final = filter(f_final,1,x);

f_final:
The final MCKD filter in finite impulse response format.

ckIter:
Correlated Kurtosis of shift M according to MED iteration.
ckIter(end) is the final ck.

Note:
The solution is not guaranteed to be the optimal solution to the
correlated kurtosis maximization problem, the solution is just a
local maximum and therefore a good pick.

Version Published Release Notes
1.3.0.0

- Updated description to refer to the published paper.

1.2.0.0

Added the published paper where this algorithm is presented in detail to the description.

1.1.0.0

- Updated the method to select the best match result, not the final result. This was added because the higher-order M deconvolutions aren't necessarily monotonically convergent.
- Added dependency on signal processing.
