Hi Lea,
A linear filter of length n "eats" n points producing 1 filtered point.
If you calculate the convolution you therefore loose n-1 points or
(n-1)/2 at both ends. For calculations it is more convenient of the
number of points stays constant. Therefore, different tricks are used to
enforce this:
1) you can duplicate end points,
2) you can wrap around your data so that after the last data point there
comes the first one,
3) you may extrapolate data to the left and right
4) you may add data points of your own choosing
e.t.c
