3 Description

The smoothed sample spectrum is defined as
f^ω=12π C0+2k=1 M-1wkCkcosωk ,  
where M is the window width, and is calculated for frequency values
ωi=2πiL,  i=0,1,,L/2,  
where denotes the integer part.
The autocovariances Ck may be supplied by you, or constructed from a time series x1,x2,,xn, as
Ck=1nt=1 n-kxtxt+k,  
the fast Fourier transform (FFT) being used to carry out the convolution in this formula.
The time series may be mean or trend corrected (by classical least squares), and tapered before calculation of the covariances, the tapering factors being those of the split cosine bell:
121-cosπ t-12/T, 1tT 121-cosπ n-t+12/T, n+ 1-Ttn 1, otherwise,  
where T= np2 and p is the tapering proportion.
The smoothing window is defined by
wk=W kM ,  kM-1,  
which for the various windows is defined over 0α<1 by
rectangular:
Wα=1  
Bartlett:
Wα = 1-α  
Tukey:
Wα=121+cosπα  
Parzen:
Wα= 1- 6α2+ 6α3, 0α12 Wα= 2 1-α 3, 12<α< 1.  
The sampling distribution of f^ω is approximately that of a scaled χd2 variate, whose degrees of freedom d is provided by the routine, together with multiplying limits mu, ml from which approximate 95% confidence intervals for the true spectrum fω may be constructed as ml × f ^ ω , mu × f ^ ω . Alternatively, log f^ω may be returned, with additive limits.
The bandwidth b of the corresponding smoothing window in the frequency domain is also provided. Spectrum estimates separated by (angular) frequencies much greater than b may be assumed to be independent.

5 Arguments

1: nx Integer Input
On entry: n, the length of the time series.
Constraint: nx1.
2: mtx Integer Input
On entry: if covariances are to be calculated by the routine (ic=0), mtx must specify whether the data are to be initially mean or trend corrected.
mtx=0
For no correction.
mtx=1
For mean correction.
mtx=2
For trend correction.
Constraint: if ic=0, 0mtx2
If covariances are supplied (ic0), mtx is not used.
3: px Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: if covariances are to be calculated by the routine (ic=0), px must specify the proportion of the data (totalled over both ends) to be initially tapered by the split cosine bell taper.
If covariances are supplied ic0, px must specify the proportion of data tapered before the supplied covariances were calculated and after any mean or trend correction. px is required for the calculation of output statistics. A value of 0.0 implies no tapering.
Constraint: 0.0px1.0.
4: iw Integer Input
On entry: the choice of lag window.
iw=1
Rectangular.
iw=2
Bartlett.
iw=3
Tukey.
iw=4
Parzen.
Constraint: 1iw4.
5: mw Integer Input
On entry: M, the ‘cut-off’ point of the lag window. Windowed covariances at lag M or greater are zero.
Constraint: 1mwnx.
6: ic Integer Input
On entry: indicates whether covariances are to be calculated in the routine or supplied in the call to the routine.
ic=0
Covariances are to be calculated.
ic0
Covariances are to be supplied.
7: nc Integer Input
On entry: the number of covariances to be calculated in the routine or supplied in the call to the routine.
Constraint: mwncnx.
8: cnc Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
On entry: if ic0, c must contain the nc covariances for lags from 0 to nc-1, otherwise c need not be set.
On exit: if ic=0, c will contain the nc calculated covariances.
If ic0, the contents of c will be unchanged.
9: kc Integer Input
On entry: if ic=0, kc must specify the order of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) used to calculate the covariances.
If ic0, that is covariances are supplied, kc is not used.
Constraint: kcnx+nc.
10: l Integer Input
On entry: L, the frequency division of the spectral estimates as 2πL . Therefore it is also the order of the FFT used to construct the sample spectrum from the covariances.
Constraint: l2×mw-1.
11: lg Integer Input
On entry: indicates whether unlogged or logged spectral estimates and confidence limits are required.
lg=0
Unlogged.
lg0
Logged.
12: nxg Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array xg as declared in the (sub)program from which g13caf is called.
Constraints:
  • if ic=0, nxgmaxkc,l;
  • if ic0, nxgl.
13: xgnxg Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
On entry: if the covariances are to be calculated, then xg must contain the nx data points. If covariances are supplied, xg may contain any values.
On exit: contains the ng spectral estimates, f^ωi, for i=0,1,,L/2 in xg1 to xgng respectively (logged if lg=1). The elements xgi, for i=ng+1,,nxg contain 0.0.
14: ng Integer Output
On exit: the number of spectral estimates, L/2+1, in xg.
15: stats4 Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: four associated statistics. These are the degrees of freedom in stats1, the lower and upper 95% confidence limit factors in stats2 and stats3 respectively (logged if lg=1), and the bandwidth in stats4.
16: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of -1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. 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).

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

g13caf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
g13caf 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.

9 Further Comments

g13caf carries out two FFTs of length kc to calculate the covariances and one FFT of length l to calculate the sample spectrum. The time taken by the routine for an FFT of length n is approximately proportional to nlogn (but see Section 9 in c06paf for further details).

10 Example

This example reads a time series of length 256. It selects the mean correction option, a tapering proportion of 0.1, the Parzen smoothing window and a cut-off point for the window at lag 100. It chooses to have 100 auto-covariances calculated and unlogged spectral estimates at a frequency division of 2π/200. It then calls g13caf to calculate the univariate spectrum and statistics and prints the autocovariances and the spectrum together with its 95% confidence multiplying limits.
