Data Types: single double. Number of DFT points, specified as a positive integer. For a complex-valued input signal, x , the PSD estimate always has length nfft. If nfft is specified as empty, the default nfft is used. Sample rate, specified as a positive scalar. The sample rate is the number of samples per unit time. If the unit of time is seconds, then the sample rate has units of Hz.

Normalized frequencies, specified as a row or column vector with at least two elements. Frequencies, specified as a row or column vector with at least two elements. The frequencies are in cycles per unit time. The unit time is specified by the sample rate, fs.

Frequency range for the PSD estimate, specified as a one of 'onesided' , 'twosided' , or 'centered'. The default is 'onesided' for real-valued signals and 'twosided' for complex-valued signals. The frequency ranges corresponding to each option are.

Power spectrum scaling, specified as 'psd' or 'power'. To return the power spectral density, omit spectrumtype or specify 'psd'. To obtain an estimate of the power at each frequency, use 'power' instead. Specifying 'power' scales each estimate of the PSD by the equivalent noise bandwidth of the window, except when the 'reassigned' flag is used.

Coverage probability for the true PSD, specified as a scalar in the range 0,1. PSD estimate, returned as a real-valued, nonnegative column vector or matrix. Each column of pxx is the PSD estimate of the corresponding column of x. The units of the PSD estimate are in squared magnitude units of the time series data per unit frequency.

For example, if the input data is in volts, the PSD estimate is in units of squared volts per unit frequency. Cyclical frequencies, returned as a real-valued column vector. For a two-sided PSD estimate, f spans the interval [0, fs. Normalized frequencies, returned as a real-valued column vector. Confidence bounds, returned as a matrix with real-valued elements. The row size of the matrix is equal to the length of the PSD estimate, pxx.

Odd-numbered columns contain the lower bounds of the confidence intervals, and even-numbered columns contain the upper bounds. The coverage probability of the confidence intervals is determined by the value of the probability input. Reassigned PSD estimate, returned as a real-valued, nonnegative column vector or matrix. Each column of rpxx is the reassigned PSD estimate of the corresponding column of x. The periodogram is a nonparametric estimate of the power spectral density PSD of a wide-sense stationary random process.

The periodogram is the Fourier transform of the biased estimate of the autocorrelation sequence. For a signal x n sampled at fs samples per unit time, the periodogram is defined as.

The frequency range in the preceding equations has variations depending on the value of the freqrange argument. See the description of freqrange in Input Arguments. The modified periodogram multiplies the input time series by a window function.

A suitable window function is nonnegative and decays to zero at the beginning and end points. Multiplying the time series by the window function tapers the data gradually on and off and helps to alleviate the leakage in the periodogram.

See Bias and Variability in the Periodogram for an example. If h n is a window function, the modified periodogram is defined by. The reassignment technique sharpens the localization of spectral estimates and produces periodograms that are easier to read and interpret. It provides exact localization for chirps and impulses.

You have a modified version of this example. In angle degrees, this represents a full cycle of a cosine wave. In addition they add normally distributed errors with mean 0 and variance 1 to this function in a second plot, and add normally distributed errors with mean 0 and variance 25 in a third plot. The R code is given on page Following are the first two plots, the basic cosine function and the function plus errors with variance 1. Thus it takes 50 time periods to cycle through the cosine function.

The function is. Notice above that longer period for the second set of plots versus 50 in the first set of plots leads to fewer cycles. In the area of time series called spectral analysis, we view a time series as a sum of cosine waves with varying amplitudes and frequencies.

One goal of an analysis is to identify the important frequencies or periods in the observed series. A starting tool for doing this is the periodogram. The periodogram graphs a measure of the relative importance of possible frequency values that might explain the oscillation pattern of the observed data.

Suppose that we have observed data at n distinct time points, and for convenience we assume that n is even. Our goal is to identify important frequencies in the data. These are called the harmonic frequencies. This is a sum of sine and cosine functions at the harmonic frequencies. This means that we have n data points and n parameters, so the fit of this regression model will be exact.

The dominant frequencies might be used to fit cosine or sine waves to the data, or might be used simply to describe the important periodicities in the series. A small bit of scaling has to be done and the FFT produces estimates at more frequencies than we need. Code is given on page of the text for the data from Example 4.

A stimulus, brushing of the back of the hand, was applied for 32 seconds and then was stopped for 32 seconds. This pattern was repeated for a total of seconds. The series is actually the average of this process for five different subjects. A time series plot follows. We see a regularly repeating pattern that seems to repeat about every 30 or so time periods.

This may not be surprising. The stimulus was applied for 16 time periods of 2 seconds and not applied for another 16 time periods of 2 seconds. It would help to print out the first few values of the periodogram and the frequencies. The first 16 scaled periodogram values and frequencies follow. The peak value of periodogram is the fifth value, and that corresponds to a frequency of 0. That is, it takes 32 time periods for a complete cycle.
