1 Purpose

For a bivariate time series, nag_tsa_cross_spectrum_bivar (g13cec) calculates the cross amplitude spectrum and squared coherency, together with lower and upper bounds from the univariate and bivariate (cross) spectra.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagg13.h>

void	nag_tsa_cross_spectrum_bivar (const double xg[], const double yg[], const Complex xyg[], Integer ng, const double stats[], double ca[], double calw[], double caup[], double t, double sc[], double sclw[], double scup[], NagError fail)

3 Description

Estimates of the cross amplitude spectrum

A (ω)

and squared coherency

W (ω)

are calculated for each frequency

ω

\begin{array}{l} A (ω) & = & |f_{x y} (ω)| = \sqrt{c f {(ω)}^{2} + q f {(ω)}^{2}} ​ and ​ \\ W (ω) & = & \frac{{|f_{x y} (ω)|}^{2}}{f_{x x} (ω) f_{y y} (ω)} \end{array}

where:

c f (ω)

and

q f (ω)

are the co-spectrum and quadrature spectrum estimates between the series, i.e., the real and imaginary parts of the cross spectrum

f_{x y} (ω)

as obtained using nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar_cov (g13ccc) or nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (g13cdc).

f_{x x} (ω)

and

f_{y y} (ω)

are the univariate spectrum estimates for the two series as obtained using nag_tsa_spectrum_univar_cov (g13cac) or nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc). The same type and amount of smoothing should be used for these estimates, and this is specified by the degrees of freedom and bandwidth values which are passed from the calls of nag_tsa_spectrum_univar_cov (g13cac) or nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc).

Upper and lower 95% confidence limits for the cross amplitude are given approximately by

A (ω) [1 \pm (1.96 / \sqrt{d}) \sqrt{W {(ω)}^{- 1} + 1}],

except that a negative lower limit is reset to 0.0, in which case the approximation is rather poor. You are therefore particularly recommended to compare the coherency estimate

W (ω)

with the critical value

T

derived from the upper 5% point of the

F

-distribution on

(2, d - 2)

degrees of freedom:

T = \frac{2 F}{d - 2 + 2 F}

where

d

is the degrees of freedom associated with the univariate spectrum estimates. The value of

T

is returned by the function.

The hypothesis that the series are unrelated at frequency

ω

, i.e., that both the true cross amplitude and coherency are zero, may be rejected at the 5% level if

W (ω) > T

. Tests at two frequencies separated by more than the bandwidth may be taken to be independent.

The confidence limits on

A (ω)

are strictly appropriate only at frequencies for which the coherency is significant. The same applies to the confidence limits on

W (ω)

which are however calculated at all frequencies using the approximation that

arctanh (\sqrt{W (l)})

is Normal with variance

1 / d

5 Arguments

1: $xg [ng]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: the ng univariate spectral estimates,

f_{x x} (ω)

, for the

x

series.

2: $yg [ng]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: the ng univariate spectral estimates,

f_{y y} (ω)

, for the

y

series.

3: $xyg [ng]$ – const ComplexInput

On entry:

f_{x y} (ω)

, the ng bivariate spectral estimates for the

x

and

y

series. The

x

series leads the

y

series.

Note: the two univariate and the bivariate spectra must each have been calculated using the same amount of smoothing. The frequency width and the shape of the window and the frequency division of the spectral estimates must be the same. The spectral estimates and statistics must also be unlogged.

4: $ng$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the number of spectral estimates in each of the arrays xg, yg and xyg. It is also the number of cross amplitude spectral and squared coherency estimates.

Constraint:

ng \geq 1

5: $stats [4]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: the 4 associated statistics for the univariate spectral estimates for the

x

and

y

series.

stats [0]

contains the degrees of freedom,

and

stats [2]

contain the lower and upper bound multiplying factors respectively and

stats [3]

contains the bandwidth.

Constraints:

The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
NE_BIVAR_SPECTRAL_ESTIM_ZERO: A bivariate spectral estimate is zero.
For this frequency the cross amplitude spectrum is set to zero, and the contributions to the impulse response function and its standard error are set to zero.
NE_INT_ARG_LT: On entry, $ng = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $ng \geq 1$ .
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR: An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
NE_REAL_ARG_GT: On entry, $stats [1]$ must not be greater than 1.0: $stats [1] = 〈value〉$ .
NE_REAL_ARG_LE: On entry, $stats [1]$ must not be less than or equal to 0.0: $stats [1] = 〈value〉$ .
NE_REAL_ARG_LT: On entry, $stats [0]$ must not be less than 3.0: $stats [0] = 〈value〉$ .

NE_SQUARED_FREQ_GT_ONE: A calculated value of the squared coherency exceeds one.
For this frequency the squared coherency is reset to one with the result that the cross amplitude spectrum is zero and the contribution to the impulse response function at this frequency is zero.

For this frequency the cross amplitude spectrum is set to zero, and the contributions to the impulse response function and its standard error are set to zero.

For this frequency the cross amplitude spectrum is set to zero, and the contributions to the impulse response function and its standard error are set to zero.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_tsa_cross_spectrum_bivar (g13cec) is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

The time taken by nag_tsa_cross_spectrum_bivar (g13cec) is approximately proportional to ng.
