i have an array of time domain data (20000 samples), that i need to filter using this transfer function to wieght the data, however i am having problems as it is in the laplace transform, below

74.128s + 698.654
H(s) = ----------------------------
1.5s^2 + 73.458s + 1663.423

as my maths is pretty appalling i need help in converting this transfer function from the s domain to the time domain in matlab and also how to to impliment the actual filtering. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Can you skip the convertion to the time domain and go directly to your requirements of implementing the filter?
You can map s to z using the built in MATLAB functions and use a ration of polynomials in z (IIR form) to implement the function. If your sample rate is very different (i.e. 10X greater) than your lowest frequency pole or zero, then you should consider a state space or delta domain implementation instead of a direct z form.
