The routine may be called by the names g13cbf or nagf_tsa_uni_spectrum_daniell.
3Description
The supplied time series may be mean or trend corrected (by least squares), and tapered, the tapering factors being those of the split cosine bell:
where and is the tapering proportion.
The unsmoothed sample spectrum
is then calculated for frequency values
where [ ] denotes the integer part.
The smoothed spectrum is returned as a subset of these frequencies for which is a multiple of a chosen value , i.e.,
where . You will normally fix first, then choose so that is sufficiently large to provide an adequate representation for the unsmoothed spectrum, i.e., . It is possible to take , i.e., .
The smoothing is defined by a trapezium window whose shape is supplied by the function
the proportion being supplied by you.
The width of the window is fixed as by you supplying . A set of averaging weights are constructed:
where is a normalizing constant, and the smoothed spectrum obtained is
If no smoothing is required should be set to , in which case the values returned are . Otherwise, in order that the smoothing approximates well to an integration, it is essential that , and preferable, but not essential, that be a multiple of . A choice of would normally be required to supply an adequate description of the smoothed spectrum. Typical choices of and should be adequate for usual smoothing situations when .
The sampling distribution of is approximately that of a scaled variate, whose degrees of freedom is provided by the routine, together with multiplying limits , from which approximate 95% confidence intervals for the true spectrum may be constructed as . Alternatively, log may be returned, with additive limits.
The bandwidth of the corresponding smoothing window in the frequency domain is also provided. Spectrum estimates separated by (angular) frequencies much greater than may be assumed to be independent.

5Arguments
1: – IntegerInput
On entry: , the length of the time series.
Constraint:
.
2: – IntegerInput
On entry: whether the data are to be initially mean or trend corrected.
For no correction.
For mean correction.
For trend correction.
Constraint:
.
3: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the proportion of the data (totalled over both ends) to be initially tapered by the split cosine bell taper. (A value of implies no tapering.)
Constraint:
.
4: – IntegerInput
On entry: the value of which determines the frequency width of the smoothing window as . A value of implies no smoothing is to be carried out.
Constraint:
.
5: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: , the shape parameter of the trapezium frequency window.
A value of gives a triangular window, and a value of a rectangular window.
If (i.e., no smoothing is carried out), pw is not used.
Constraint:
.
6: – IntegerInput
On entry: , the frequency division of smoothed spectral estimates as .
On entry: indicates whether unlogged or logged spectral estimates and confidence limits are required.
For unlogged.
For logged.
9: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
On entry: the data points.
On exit: contains the ng spectral estimates
, for , in to (logged if ). The elements

10: – IntegerOutput
On exit: the number of spectral estimates, , in xg.
11: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: four associated statistics. These are the degrees of freedom in , the lower and upper confidence limit factors in and respectively (logged if ), and the bandwidth in .
12: – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to , or to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of means that an error message is printed while a value of means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value or is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value is recommended. Otherwise, the value is recommended since useful values can be provided in some output arguments even when on exit. When the value or is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

7Accuracy
The FFT is a numerically stable process, and any errors introduced during the computation will normally be insignificant compared with uncertainty in the data.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
g13cbf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
g13cbf 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.
9Further Comments
g13cbf carries out a FFT of length kc to calculate the sample spectrum. The time taken by the routine for this is approximately proportional to (but see Section 9 in c06paf for further details).
10Example
This example reads a time series of length . It then calls g13cbf to calculate the univariate spectrum and prints the logged spectrum together with confidence limits.
