Woody Average (Average with alignment)

Computes the Woody average of a signal by aligning measure waveforms

You are now following this Submission

Computes the Woody average by first aligning individual signals (corrupted by jitter) with the standard average. Uses xcorr to compute the lag and then re-averages the signals to get an improved estimate.

Example included in help.

Technique deteriorates at low SNRs.
