The routine may be called by the names g13ccf or nagf_tsa_multi_spectrum_lag.
3Description
The smoothed sample cross spectrum is a complex valued function of frequency , , defined by its real part or co-spectrum
and imaginary part or quadrature spectrum
where , for , is the smoothing lag window as defined in the description of g13caf. The alignment shift is recommended to be chosen as the lag at which the cross-covariances peak, so as to minimize bias.
The results are calculated for frequency values
where denotes the integer part.
The cross-covariances may be supplied by you, or constructed from supplied series ; as
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 and .

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.
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.
9Further Comments
g13ccf carries out two FFTs of length kc to calculate the sample cross-covariances and one FFT of length 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 is approximately proportional to (but see Section 9 in c06paf for further details).
10Example
This example reads two time series of length . It then selects mean correction, a 10% tapering proportion, the Parzen smoothing window and a cut-off point of for the lag window. The alignment shift is set to and 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.
