What is the difference between 'smooth' and 'filter' function for smoothing?
Show older comments
Both seems to be able to smooth data using methods like Moving Average.
Which one should be used in case for smoothing power output from Renewable energy?
What if I want to design my own filter? Like using Gauss-based method? Can I use these functions?

Smooth: Smooths the data in the column vector using using a moving average filter. Filter is the oparand and smooth is the result. "A moving average filter smooths data by replacing each data point with the average of the neighboring data points defined within the span".

I dont think there are major difference to use it.

Yes
But the application methods based on data types also, read here
