Filtering out noise quickly? [message #91346]

So I've got a set of frequency data and a set of 'residual' data, and I am plotting the frequency on the X and the residual on the Y. We are looking to see if a trough in the residuals at a certain frequency is present. But there is a whole bunch of noise in the residuals, so I am trying to write a program which will detect if the trough is there or if it is just noise. As of now I have something that works ok. It calculates the average and standard deviation for the data set as a whole (not including the frequency we want), and then calculates the average for the small range of the frequencies where we are looking for the trough. Next it "buffers" (that probably isn't the right terminology..), the average for the whole thing with the standard deviation. So if the average value at the good frequency is less than the average general minus the general standard deviation, we should have a trough and not noise. Hopefully that makes sense, please ask if you have questions.

Is there any sort of tool set of procedures that could eliminate the noise in an easier way?
