class IIRFilter:
    r"""
    N-Order IIR filter
    Assumes working with float samples normalized on [-1, 1]

    ---

    Implementation details:
    Based on the 2nd-order function from
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_biquad_filter,
    this generalized N-order function was made.

    Using the following transfer function
    H(z)=\frac{b_{0}+b_{1}z^{-1}+b_{2}z^{-2}+...+b_{k}z^{-k}}{a_{0}+a_{1}z^{-1}+a_{2}z^{-2}+...+a_{k}z^{-k}}
    we can rewrite this to
    y[n]={\frac{1}{a_{0}}}\left(\left(b_{0}x[n]+b_{1}x[n-1]+b_{2}x[n-2]+...+b_{k}x[n-k]\right)-\left(a_{1}y[n-1]+a_{2}y[n-2]+...+a_{k}y[n-k]\right)\right)
