Well, my memory still serves me well:

"
help remez
b = remez(n, f, a [, w] [, ftype] [, griddensity])
Parks-McClellan optimal FIR filter design.
"

- 'remez' is about FIR, and I was interested in IIR, and that's why
frep2tf. I.e. Iwas interested in the smallest possible number of DSP
coefficients -> least CPU-intensive implementation.

Of course, I also had to split the TF produced by frep2tf into biquads for
actual filter implementation.
