spectrum1d



       spectrum1d  - compute auto- [and cross- ] spectra from one
       [or two] timeseries.


SYNOPSIS

       spectrum1d [ x[y]file ] -Ssegment_size] [ -C[xycnpago] ] [
       -Ddt  ]  [  -Nname_stem  ]  [  -V ] [ -W ] [ -bi[s][n] ] [
       -bo[s] ]


DESCRIPTION

       spectrum1d reads X [and Y] values from the first [and sec­
       ond] columns on standard input [or x[y]file]. These values
       are treated as timeseries X(t)  [Y(t)]  sampled  at  equal
       intervals  spaced  dt units apart. There may be any number
       of lines of input. spectrum1d will create file[s] contain­
       ing  auto-  [and  cross-  ]  spectral density estimates by
       Welch's method of ensemble ' averaging of  multiple  over­
       lapped windows, using standard error estimates from Bendat
       and Piersol.

       The output files have 3 columns: f or w, p, and e. f or  w
       is  the frequency or wavelength, p is the spectral density
       estimate, and e is the one standard  deviation  error  bar
       size.  These files are named based on name_stem. If the -C
       option is used, up to eight files are  created;  otherwise
       only  one  (xpower) is written. The files (which are ASCII
       unless -bo is set) are as follows:

       name_stem.xpower
              Power spectral density of X(t). Units of X  *  X  *
              dt.

       name_stem.ypower
              Power  spectral  density  of Y(t). Units of Y * Y *
              dt.

       name_stem.cpower
              Power spectral  density  of  the  coherent  output.
              Units same as ypower.

       name_stem.npower
              Power  spectral  density of the noise output. Units
              same as ypower.

       name_stem.gain
              Gain spectrum, or modulus of the transfer function.
              Units of (Y / X).

       name_stem.phase
              Phase  spectrum, or phase of the transfer function.
              Units are radians.

       name_stem.admit

       name_stem.coh
              (Squared) coherency spectrum, or linear correlation
              coefficient as a function of frequency.  Dimension­
              less  number  in  [0, 1]. The Signal-to-Noise-Ratio
              (SNR) is coh / (1 - coh). SNR = 1 when coh = 0.5.


REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

       x[y]file
              ASCII (or binary, see -bi) file holding X(t) [Y(t)]
              samples  in  the first 1 [or 2] columns. If no file
              is specified, spectrum1d will  read  from  standard
              input.

       -S     segment_size  is  a  radix-2  number of samples per
              window for ensemble averaging.  The  smallest  fre­
              quency  estimated is 1.0/(segment_size * dt), while
              the largest is 1.0/(2 * dt). One standard error  in
              power  spectral  density  is  approximately  1.0  /
              sqrt(n_data / segment_size), so if  segment_size  =
              256,  you  need  25,600  data to get a one standard
              error bar of 10%.  Cross-spectral  error  bars  are
              larger  and more complicated, being a function also
              of the coherency.


OPTIONS

       -C     Read the first two columns of input as  samples  of
              two timeseries, X(t) and Y(t).
                Consider Y(t) to be the output and X(t) the input
              in a linear system with noise. Estimate the optimum
              f requency response function by least squares, such
              that the noise output is minimized and the coherent
              outpu  t  and  the  noise  output are uncorrelated.
              Optionally specify up to 8 letters from the set { x
              y  c  n p a g o } in any order to create only those
              output files instead of the  default  [all].   x  =
              xpower,  y  =  ypower,  c = cpower, n = npower, p =
              phase, a = admit, g = gain, o = coh.

       -D     dt Set the spacing between  samples  in  the  time­
              series [Default = 1].

       -N     name_stem  Supply the name stem to be used for out­
              put files [Default = "spectrum"].

       -V     Selects verbose  mode,  which  will  send  progress
              reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].

       -W     Write  Wavelength rather than frequency in column 1
              of the output file[s] [Default = frequency, (cycles
              / dt)].

              columns in the binary file(s).  [Default is 2 input
              columns].

       -bo    Selects binary output. Append s for  single  preci­
              sion [Default is double].


EXAMPLES

       Suppose  data.g is gravity data in mGal, sampled every 1.5
       km. To write its power spectrum,  in  mGal**2-km,  to  the
       file data.xpower, try

       spectrum1d data.g -S256 -D1.5 -Ndata

       Suppose  in  addition  to data.g you have data.t, which is
       topography in meters sampled at the same points as data.g.
       To  estimate  various  features  of the transfer function,
       considering data.t as input and data.g as output, try

       paste data.t data.g | spectrum1d -S256 -D1.5 -Ndata -C
