The idea of the Savitzky Golay filter is to find filter-coefficients that preserve higher moments, which means to approximate the underlying function within the moving window by a polynomial of higher order (typically quadratic or quartic) (see A. Savitzky and M. J. E. Golay, ''Smoothing and Differentiation of Data by Simplified Least Squares Procedures'').

Note: The Savitzky Golay filter works only on uniform data (to generate equally spaced data use the Resampler tool).

The command line parameters of this tool are:

NoiseFilterSGolay -- Removes noise from profile spectra by using a Savitzky Golay filter. Requires uniform 
(equidistant) data.
