Falling

Calculate the falling edge of a waveform. Errors if image or scalar provided.

First, applies smoothing by taking weighted nearest and next-nearest neighbour contributions to y values whose difference from their neighbours is more than 0.2 times the total range in y. The global maximum y value is then identified along with the first x position to the right of the peak where the y value is less than or equal to half the global maximum. If all values of y to the right of the peak are greater than half the global maximum, the position of the global maximum is used. The value of x at this position is returned."
