Filtering a matrix column with different cutoff

[rows, columns] = size(data);
y = zeros(size(data));
fs = 60;
for k = 1 : columns
  thisColumn = data(:, k); % Extract this one column
  fc = cutoff(k); % Extract this one cutoff value.
  % Determine filter parameters.
  [b,a] = butter(2, fc/(fs/2));
  % Do the filtering, and put result into column k of the output y
  y(:,k) = filter(b, a, thisColumn);
end
