# scipy.signal.residuez

`scipy.signal.``residuez`(b, a, tol=0.001, rtype='avg')

  Compute partial-fraction expansion of b(z) / a(z).

  If `M = len(b)` and `N = len(a)`:

              b(z)     b[0] + b[1] z**(-1) + ... + b[M-1] z**(-M+1)
      H(z) = ------ = ----------------------------------------------
              a(z)     a[0] + a[1] z**(-1) + ... + a[N-1] z**(-N+1)

               r[0]                   r[-1]
       = --------------- + ... + ---------------- + k[0] + k[1]z**(-1) ...
         (1-p[0]z**(-1))         (1-p[-1]z**(-1))

  If there are any repeated roots (closer than tol), then the partial fraction expansion has terms like:

           r[i]              r[i+1]                    r[i+n-1]
      -------------- + ------------------ + ... + ------------------
      (1-p[i]z**(-1))  (1-p[i]z**(-1))**2         (1-p[i]z**(-1))**n
