New Book: Ships in one business day! Ships with tracking.
Spectral analysis is widely used to interpret time series collected in diverse areas. This book covers the statistical theory behind spectral analysis and provides data analysts with the tools needed to transition theory into practice. Actual time series from oceanography, metrology, atmospheric science and other areas are used in running examples throughout, to allow clear comparison of how the various methods address questions of interest. All major nonparametric and parametric spectral analysis techniques are discussed, with emphasis on the multitaper method, both in its original formulation involving Slepian tapers and in a popular alternative using sinusoidal tapers. The authors take a unified approach to quantifying the bandwidth of different nonparametric spectral estimates. An extensive set of exercises allows readers to test their understanding of theory and practical analysis. The time series used as examples and R language code for recreating the analyses of the series are available from the book’s website. Includes over 250 exercises which allow readers to test their understanding both of the theory and of practical analysis of time series. Contains analyses and figures which have been generated using the R software package, with code available as an online supplement. Offers numerous comments on and extensions of the main material for readers who want to go deeper on any topic.
