CARNEY2015_GETALPHANORM - Returns filter coefficients for a normalized alpha function

Program code:

function [B,A] = carney2015_getalphanorm(tau, fs, t)
%CARNEY2015_GETALPHANORM  Returns filter coefficients for a normalized alpha function
%
%   Returns z-transform coefficients for the function:
%
%       y(t) = t*e^(-t/tau);
%
%   The resulting coefficents can then be used in filter().  This version
%   normalizes the alpha function so that the area from 0 to t is equal
%   to 1.
