spectrum {stats} | R Documentation |
The spectrum
function estimates the spectral density of a
time series.
spectrum(x, ..., method = c("pgram", "ar"))
x |
A univariate or multivariate time series. |
method |
String specifying the method used to estimate the
spectral density. Allowed methods are "pgram" (the default)
and "ar" . |
... |
Further arguments to specific spec methods or
plot.spec . |
spectrum
is a wrapper function which calls the methods
spec.pgram
and spec.ar
.
The spectrum here is defined with scaling 1/frequency(x)
,
following S-PLUS. This makes the spectral density a density over the
range (-frequency(x)/2, +frequency(x)/2]
, whereas a more common
scaling is 2π and range (-0.5, 0.5] (e.g., Bloomfield)
or 1 and range (-π, π].
If available, a confidence interval will be plotted by
plot.spec
: this is asymmetric, and the width of the centre
mark indicates the equivalent bandwidth.
An object of class "spec"
, which is a list containing at
least the following components:
freq |
vector of frequencies at which the spectral density is estimated. (Possibly approximate Fourier frequencies.) The units are the reciprocal of cycles per unit time (and not per observation spacing): see Details below. |
spec |
Vector (for univariate series) or matrix (for multivariate
series) of estimates of the spectral density at frequencies
corresponding to freq . |
coh |
NULL for univariate series. For multivariate time
series, a matrix containing the squared coherency
between different
series. Column i + (j - 1) * (j - 2)/2 of coh
contains the squared coherency between columns i and j
of x , where i < j. |
phase |
NULL for univariate series. For multivariate
time series a matrix containing the cross-spectrum phase between
different series. The format is the same as coh . |
series |
The name of the time series. |
snames |
For multivariate input, the names of the component series. |
method |
The method used to calculate the spectrum. |
The result is returned invisibly if plot
is true.
The default plot for objects of class "spec"
is quite complex,
including an error bar and default title, subtitle and axis
labels. The defaults can all be overridden by supplying the
appropriate graphical parameters.
