This little project came about because I kept running into the same problem: cleanly differentiating sensor data before doing analysis. There are a ton of ways to solve this problem, I've always personally been a fan of using kalman filters for the job as its easy to get the double whammy of resampling/upsampling to a fixed consistent rate and also smoothing/outlier rejection. I wrote a little numpy only bayesian filtering/smoothing library recently (https://github.com/hugohadfield/bayesfilter/) so this felt like a fun and very useful first thing to try it out on! If people find kalmangrad useful I would be more than happy to add a few more features etc. and I would be very grateful if people sent in any bugs they spot.. Thanks!

I'm looking to calculate jerk from accelerometer data, I'm assuming this would be the perfect use case?

this is a perfect use case, let me know how it goes!
