1 Purpose

nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar_cov (g13ccc) calculates the smoothed sample cross spectrum of a bivariate time series using one of four lag windows: rectangular, Bartlett, Tukey or Parzen.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagg13.h>

void	nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar_cov (Integer nxy, NagMeanOrTrend mtxy_correction, double pxy, Integer iw, Integer mw, Integer ish, Integer ic, Integer nc, double cxy[], double cyx[], Integer kc, Integer l, double xg[], double yg[], Complex g[], Integer ng, NagError fail)

3 Description

The smoothed sample cross spectrum is a complex valued function of frequency

ω

f_{x y} (ω) = c f (ω) + i q f (ω)

, defined by its real part or co-spectrum

c f (ω) = \frac{1}{2 π} \sum_{k = - M + 1}^{M - 1} w_{k} C_{x y} (k + S) \cos (ω k)

and imaginary part or quadrature spectrum

q f (ω) = \frac{1}{2 π} \sum_{k = - M + 1}^{M - 1} w_{k} C_{x y} (k + S) \sin (ω k)

where

w_{k} = w_{- k}

, for

k = 0, 1, \dots, M - 1

, is the smoothing lag window as defined in the description of nag_tsa_spectrum_univar_cov (g13cac). The alignment shift

S

is recommended to be chosen as the lag

k

at which the cross-covariances

c_{x y} (k)

peak, so as to minimize bias.

The results are calculated for frequency values

ω_{j} = \frac{2 π j}{L}, j = 0, 1, \dots, [L / 2],

where

[]

denotes the integer part.

The cross-covariances

c_{x y} (k)

may be supplied by you, or constructed from supplied series

x_{1}, x_{2}, \dots, x_{n}

;

y_{1}, y_{2}, \dots, y_{n}

c_{x y} (k) = \frac{\sum_{t = 1}^{n - k} x_{t} y_{t + k}}{n}, k \geq 0

c_{x y} (k) = \frac{\sum_{t = 1 - k}^{n} x_{t} y_{t + k}}{n} = c_{y x} (- k), k < 0

this convolution being carried out using the finite Fourier transform.

The supplied series may be mean and trend corrected and tapered before calculation of the cross-covariances, in exactly the manner described in nag_tsa_spectrum_univar_cov (g13cac) for univariate spectrum estimation. The results are corrected for any bias due to tapering.

The bandwidth associated with the estimates is not returned. It will normally already have been calculated in previous calls of nag_tsa_spectrum_univar_cov (g13cac) for estimating the univariate spectra of

y_{t}

and

x_{t}

), pxy must specify the proportion of the data (totalled over both ends) to be initially tapered by the split cosine bell taper. A value of

0.0

implies no tapering.

$\max (kc, l)$ , when $ic = 0$ ;

7 Accuracy

The FFT is a numerically stable process, and any errors introduced during the computation will normally be insignificant compared with uncertainty in the data.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.

9 Further Comments

nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar_cov (g13ccc) carries out two FFTs of length kc to calculate the sample cross-covariances and one FFT of length

L

to calculate the sample spectrum. The timing of nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar_cov (g13ccc) is therefore dependent on the choice of these values. The time taken for an FFT of length

n

is approximately proportional to

n \log (n)

(but see Section 9 in nag_sum_fft_realherm_1d (c06pac) for further details).

10 Example

This example reads two time series of length

296

. It then selects mean correction, a 10% tapering proportion, the Parzen smoothing window and a cut-off point of

35

for the lag window. The alignment shift is set to

3

and

50

cross-covariances are chosen to be calculated. The program then calls nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar_cov (g13ccc) to calculate the cross spectrum and then prints the cross-covariances and cross spectrum.
