Unlike nonadaptive filters which just pass their
input data through the filtering mechanism, adaptive filters also
apply a system model as well. The estimate of the system is
compared against the filter output to create an error signal, this
error signal is then used in a cost function of some kind
which indicates how well (or badly) we are doing with the current
parameters of the filter.
