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 g13caf. 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 g13caf 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 g13caf for estimating the univariate spectra of

y_{t}

and

x_{t}

On entry:

n

, the length of the time series

y

series and earlier values in time in the

x

series, for lags from

0

(nc - 1)

ic = 0

, cxy need not be set.

On exit: if

ic = 0

, cxy will contain the nc calculated cross-covariances.

ic \neq 0

On entry: if

ic \neq 0

, that is if covariances are supplied, kc is not used.

Constraint:

kc \geq nxy + nc

12: $l$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

L

, the frequency division of the spectral estimates as

\frac{2 π}{L}

. Therefore it is also the order of the FFT used to construct the sample spectrum from the cross-covariances.

Constraint:

l \geq 2 \times mw - 1

13: $nxyg$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the arrays xg and yg as declared in the (sub)program from which g13ccf is called.

On entry: if the cross-covariances are to be calculated, then xg must contain the nxy data points of the

x

series. If covariances are supplied, xg need not be set.

On exit: contains the real parts of the ng complex spectral estimates in elements

xg (1)

xg (ng)

, and

xg (ng + 1)

xg (nxyg)

contain

0.0

y

series leads the

x

series.

15: $yg (nxyg)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output

On entry: if cross-covariances are to be calculated, yg must contain the nxy data points of the

16: $ng$ – IntegerOutput

On exit: the number,

[l / 2] + 1

, of complex spectral estimates, whose separate parts are held in xg and yg.

17: $ifail$ – IntegerInput/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to

0

- 1 or 1

. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value

- 1 or 1

is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is

0

. When the value $- 1 or 1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6

ifail = 0

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

g13ccf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

g13ccf makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

g13ccf 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 g13ccf 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 c06paf 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 g13ccf to calculate the cross spectrum and then prints the cross-covariances and cross spectrum.
