I have an very long, irregularly spaced time series (and I'm also new to
spectral analysis, so please be patient.) I want to use spec.ls as an
interpolator and then use the output to reconstruct the time series via
inverse fft. But so far I've been having difficulty doing this.
ts<-read.csv("timeseries.csv",header=TRUE) #file contains over
30000
irregularly spaced observations
attach(ts)
ts_lomb<-spec.ls(tsspec,y=NULL,demean=TRUE,detrend=FALSE)
>length(ts_lomb$freq)
[1]17496
#Now to see what some of the frequencies look like.>ts_lomb$freq[1:10]
[1] 2.857796e-05 5.715592e-05 8.573388e-05 1.143118e-04 1.428898e-04
[6] 1.714678e-04 2.000457e-04 2.286237e-04 2.572016e-04 2.857796e-04
I would like to do an inverse fft using these frequencies so that I can
recreate the interpolated
time series. But when I do:
>fft(fft(ts_lomb))/length(ts_lomb)
I get:
...
[17485] 0.00037151349-0i 0.00034293553-0i 0.00031435757-0i 0.00028577961-0i
[17489] 0.00025720165-0i 0.00022862369-0i 0.00020004572-0i 0.00017146776-0i
[17493] 0.00014288980+0i 0.00011431184-0i 0.00008573388-0i 0.00005715592-0i
My question:
1) The numbers don't make sense to me. Shouldn't I have both cosine and
sine
functions? I don't know why I have nothing but zeros for sine. Anyone have
any insight in what I could be doing wrong? Or could this actually be
correct?
2) Let's say these are "good" numbers. What code could I write to
create the
formula describing this ginormous time series?
