+/*Description
+        Sort the numbers z into complex conjugate pairs ordered by increasing real part.
+        The negative imaginary complex numbers are placed first within each pair. All real numbers (those with abs (imag (z) / z) < tol) are placed after the complex pairs.
+        and the resulting tolerance for a given complex pair is 100 * eps (abs (z(i))).
+        Signal an error if some complex numbers could not be paired. Signal an error if all complex numbers are not exact conjugates (to within tol).

+/*Description:
+        Compute the group delay of a filter.
+        Theory: group delay, g(w) = -d/dw [arg{H(e^jw)}], is the rate of change of phase with respect to frequency. It can be computed as:
+                      d/dw H(e^-jw)
+              g(w) = -------------
+                        H(e^-jw)
+        where
+                H(z) = B(z)/A(z) = sum(b_k z^k)/sum(a_k z^k).
+        By the quotient rule,
+                          A(z) d/dw B(z) - B(z) d/dw A(z)
+              d/dw H(z) = -------------------------------
+                                      A(z) A(z)
+        Substituting into the expression above yields:
+                      A dB - B dA
+              g(w) =  ----------- = dB/B - dA/A
+                          A B
+        Note that,
+              d/dw B(e^-jw) = sum(k b_k e^-jwk)
+              d/dw A(e^-jw) = sum(k a_k e^-jwk)
+        which is just the FFT of the coefficients multiplied by a ramp.
+Calling Sequence
+        [g, w] = grpdelay (b) : returns the group delay g of the FIR filter with coefficients b. The response is evaluated at 512 angular frequencies between 0 and pi. w is a vector containing the 512 frequencies. The group delay is in units of samples. It can be converted to seconds by multiplying by the sampling period (or dividing by the sampling rate fs).
+        [g, w] = grpdelay (b, a) : returns the group delay of the rational IIR filter whose numerator has coefficients b and denominator coefficients a.
+        [g, w] = grpdelay (…, n) : returns the group delay evaluated at n angular frequencies. For fastest computation n should factor into a small number of small primes.
+        [g, w] = grpdelay (…, n, "whole") : evaluates the group delay at n frequencies between 0 and 2*pi.
+        [g, f] = grpdelay (…, n, Fs) : evaluates the group delay at n frequencies between 0 and Fs/2.
+        [g, f] = grpdelay (…, n, "whole", Fs) : evaluates the group delay at n frequencies between 0 and Fs.
+        [g, w] = grpdelay (…, w) : evaluates the group delay at frequencies w (radians per sample).
+        [g, f] = grpdelay (…, f, Fs) : evaluates the group delay at frequencies f (in Hz).
+        grpdelay(...) plots the group delay vs. frequency.
+         If the denominator of the computation becomes too small, the group delay is set to zero. (The group delay approaches infinity when there are poles or zeros very close to the unit circle in the z plane.)
+Parameters:
+          b : Coefficients of the numerator polynomial of the filter (FIR or IIR).
+          a : (optional): Coefficients of the denominator polynomial of the filter (only for IIR filters).
+          n : (optional): Number of angular frequencies at which to evaluate the group delay. For efficient computation, n should be a product of small primes.
+          "whole" : (optional): Specifies frequency range. If specified: Frequencies range from 0 to 2π radians per sample.
+          Fs : (numeric value): Frequencies range from 0 to Fs Hz or Fs radians per sample.
+          w : (optional): Vector of specific frequencies (in radians per sample) at which to evaluate the group delay.
+          f : (optional): Vector of specific frequencies (in Hz) at which to evaluate the group delay.
+          Fs : (optional): Sampling rate in Hz. Used to specify the frequency range when f or "whole" is specified.

+        Radian Phases: These are typically angles or phases expressed in radians, commonly encountered in signal processing and communication systems.
+        Tolerance (tol): Determines the maximum allowable discontinuity in the phases.
+        If the difference between consecutive phases exceeds tol, unwrap adjusts the phase by adding or subtracting 2π.
+        Dimension (dim): Specifies the dimension along which the unwrapping operation is applied.

+Description:
+        Compute the 2D cross-correlation of matrices a and b.
+        If b is not specified, computes autocorrelation of a, i.e., same as xcorr (a, a).
+        The optional argument scale, defines the type of scaling applied to the cross-correlation matrix. Possible values are:
+        "none" (default)
+            No scaling.
+        "biased"
+            Scales the raw cross-correlation by the maximum number of elements of a and b involved in the generation of any element of c.
+        "unbiased"
+            Scales the raw correlation by dividing each element in the cross-correlation matrix by the number of products a and b used to generate that element.
+        "coeff"
+            Scales the normalized cross-correlation on the range of [0 1] so that a value of 1 corresponds to a correlation coefficient of 1.
