Dear list, What on earth is spec.pgram() normalized too? If you would like to skip my proof as to why it's not normed too the mean squared or sum squared amplitude of the discrete function a[], feel free too skip the rest of the message. If it is, but you know why it's not exact in spec.pgram() when it should be, skip the rest of this message. The issue I refer herein refers only too a

Hi everyone, first of all, I would like to say that I am a newbie in R, so I apologize in advance if my questions seem to be too easy for you. Well, I'm looking for periodicity in histograms. I have histograms of certain phenomenons and I'm asking whether a periodicity exists in these data. So, I make a periodogram with the function spec.pgram. For instance, if I have a histogram h, I

I have done a fair bit of spectral analysis, and hadn't finished collecting my thoughts for a reply, so hadn't replied yet. What exactly do you mean by normalize? I have not used the functons periodogram or spectrum, however from the description for periodogram it appears that it returns the spectral density, which is already normalized by frequency, so you don't have to worry about

hello, I have been using the per function in package longmemo to obtain a simple raw periodogram. I am considering to switch to the function spec.pgram since I want to be able to do tapering. To compare both I used spec.pgram with the options as suggested in the documentation of per {longmemo} to make them correspond. Now I have found on a variety of examples that there is a shift between

Hello world, I am actually trying to transfer a lecture from Statistica to R and I ran into problems with spectral analysis, I think I just don't get it 8-( (The posting from "FFT, frequs, magnitudes, phases" from 2005 did not enlighten me) As a starter for the students I have a 10year data set of air temperature with daily values and I try to get a periodogram where the annual

Dear Tom, Short answer, if your using spec.pgram(), use the smoothing kernel to get a better estimate at the frequency centered in the bandwidth. If your frequency bin of interest is wider than the bandwidth of the kernel, average across frequencies (I think). The estimate appears to be normalized already. If you are calculating your PSD independently, then oversample (e.g. 2, perhaps 4 or more

Dear R-Help, I wish to simulate a process so that it has certain properties in the frequency domain. What I attempted was to generate a random time-series signal, use spec-pgram(), apply a function in the frequency domain, and then inverse transform back to the time-domain. This idea does not seem as straight forward in practice as I anticipated. e.g. x<-ts(rnorm(1000, 0,1), frequency=256)

Dear All, I am looking for: A software to select the lag length for a lag window spectral estimator. Also, I have a small query in the reprex given below. Background for the above, from the book by Percival and Walden: 1. We are given X_1,...,X_n which is one realization of a stochastic process. 2. We may compute the periodogram using FFT, for example by the function spectrum in R. 3. The

Can someone explain me this spec.pgram effect? Code: period.6<-c(0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10 ,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,10) period.5<-c(0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,0,10 ,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0,0,10,0) par(mfrow=c(2,1))

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting to the list, thanks in advance. I am calculating the smoothed periodogram for the residuals of an AR model that I fit to EEG data. The autocorrelation plot of the residuals shows the series is now approximately white (i.e. ACF = 1 at lag 0, and close to 0 for all other lags). I would like to show that the spectrum of the series is also

Dear R experts, beginners and everyone else, I'm calculating "cumulative periodogram" using the command "cpgram" [1] from the MASS library. Here is a short example with the "lh" (hormone level) dataset: library(MASS) plot(lh,type="l",ylab="value",xlab="time", main="Hormone Levels (lh)") spectrum(lh,

Dear R users I have a really simple question (hoping for a really simple answer :-): Having estimated the spectral density of a time series "x" (heart rate data) with: x.pgram <- spectrum(x,method="pgram") I would like to compute the power in a specific energy band. Assuming that frequency(x)=4 (Hz), and that I am interested in the band between f1 and f2, is the

Dear useRs, I'd like to plot a confidence interval on a periodogram. My problem is that spec.pgram(sunspots,ci=0.95,log="yes") gives me a blue error bar on the plot, but spec.pgram(sunspots,ci=0.95,log="no") does not. My questions are: 1. how should I plot the confidence interval with log="no"? 2. how should I get the min and max values of the confidence

Hi All, I have two time series, each has length 354. I tried to calculate the coherency^2 between them, but the value I got is always 1. On a website, it says: " Note that if the ensemble averaging were to be omitted, the coherency (squared) would be 1, independent of the data". Does any of you know how to specify properly in R in order to get more useful coherency? The examples in

Hi dear R community, I have up to 12 measures of a protein for each of 6 patients, taken every two or three days. The pattern of the protein looks periodic, but the height of the peaks is highly variable. I'm testing for periodicity using a Monte Carlo simulation envelope approach applied to a cumulative periodogram. Now I want to predict the location of the peaks in time. Of course, the

Hi, everyone, I tried to use "spectrum()" or "spec.pgram()" to get a periodogram of a time series but they didn't work. Even the examples given in the help file didn't work (all with the same error message, below). And the 'ts'ibrary was loaded with "library(ts)" or "library("ts"). I also tried library(tseries) but got the same problem.

I am reading some documentation about Cross Spectrum Analysis as a technique to compare spectra. My understanding is that it estimates the correlation strength between quasi-periodic structures embedded in two signals. I believe it may be useful for my signals analysis. I was referred to the R functions that implement this type of analysis. I tried all the examples which generated a series of

Any Ideas to get an interactive periodogram? -- Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the annoying little problems of being mammals. -K. Mullis

Hello All, I wanted to perform a fourier transform on high frequency financial data. I have searched and have not found much on this topic for R. I was wondering if anyone has used any libraries for it or have come across any papers I may read. Many Thanks, Neil Gupta [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
