Abstract: At present, the Whittaker Smoother(WS)algorithm is widely used. The core of the algorithm lies in the use of integer-order differentiation to express roughness. However, the integer-order differential representation is single and not flexible enough to truly reflect the roughness of the signal. On the contrary, the fractional differential expression is flexible and can better describe the roughness of the real signal. Therefore, the fractional differentiation is used to improve the WS algorithm and make it more flexible and effective. As two fractional differential calculation methods, Riemann-Liouville(RL)and Grümwald-Letnikov(GL)are adopted to implement the fractional WS algorithm.Furthermore, the automatic parameter selection of the fractional WS algorithm is realized by mathematical derivation. The experimental results of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum with sharp peaks show that the fractional-order WS algorithm can extract more real information; additionally, the experimental results of Marzipan infrared spectra show that the precision of spectral quantitative analysis is higher compared with the original integer-order WS algorithm.
