            Abstract : 
This fifth segment of six discusses filters. Filtering implies a frequency-dependent selection process, passing, for example, frequencies within a certain range and rejecting those outside that range. I describe some essentials for creating frequency-dependent passbands and stopbands. I also briefly cover detrending and the cumulative periodogram.
