Any explanation should start by saying a convolution is just a weighted average.
- wnoise 3y agoAverages are normalized. Convolutions only are if they integrate to 1.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhat are you using non normalized weighted averages for?
- wnoise 3y agoI'm not! Averages should normalize the weights. But there are plenty of reasons to define convolutions where neither signal is normalized.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhat are they?
- jjgreen 3y agoWell it is, sort of, but treating one of the functions as weights and the other as the thing that is averaged misses out on the symmetry f*g = g*f
