This changes the equation to the +following (Note that this is completely equivalent to the original +equation, just with a different definition of $x$ that will better suit +the the transformation to code): + +\begin{equation} +y_t = \sum\nolimits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} {x_i \cdot h_i } +\end{equation} + +Consider that the vector \hs{hs} contains the FIR coefficients and the +vector \hs{xs} contains the current input sample in front and older +samples behind. The function that does this shifting of the input samples +is shown below: + +\begin{code} +x >> xs = x +> tail xs +\end{code} + +Where the \hs{tail} function returns all but the first element of a +vector, and the concatenate operator ($\succ$) adds a new element to the +left of a vector.
