quantecon.estspec.ar_periodogram(x, window='hanning', window_len=7)

Compute periodogram from data x, using prewhitening, smoothing and recoloring. The data is fitted to an AR(1) model for prewhitening, and the residuals are used to compute a first-pass periodogram with smoothing. The fitted coefficients are then used for recoloring.

Parameters:

xarray_like(float)

A flat NumPy array containing the data to smooth

window_lenscalar(int), optional

An odd integer giving the length of the window. Defaults to 7.

windowstring

A string giving the window type. Possible values are ‘flat’, ‘hanning’, ‘hamming’, ‘bartlett’ or ‘blackman’

Returns:

warray_like(float)

Fourier frequencies at which periodogram is evaluated

I_warray_like(float)

Values of periodogram at the Fourier frequencies

quantecon.estspec.periodogram(x, window=None, window_len=7)

Computes the periodogram

\[I(w) = \frac{1}{n} \Big[ \sum_{t=0}^{n-1} x_t e^{itw} \Big] ^2\]

at the Fourier frequencies \(w_j := \frac{2 \pi j}{n}\), \(j = 0, \dots, n - 1\), using the fast Fourier transform. Only the frequencies \(w_j\) in \([0, \pi]\) and corresponding values \(I(w_j)\) are returned. If a window type is given then smoothing is performed.

Parameters:

xarray_like(float)

A flat NumPy array containing the data to smooth

window_lenscalar(int), optional(default=7)

An odd integer giving the length of the window. Defaults to 7.

windowstring

A string giving the window type. Possible values are ‘flat’, ‘hanning’, ‘hamming’, ‘bartlett’ or ‘blackman’

Returns:

warray_like(float)

Fourier frequencies at which periodogram is evaluated

I_warray_like(float)

Values of periodogram at the Fourier frequencies

quantecon.estspec.smooth(x, window_len=7, window='hanning')

Smooth the data in x using convolution with a window of requested size and type.

Parameters:

xarray_like(float)

A flat NumPy array containing the data to smooth

window_lenscalar(int), optional

An odd integer giving the length of the window. Defaults to 7.

windowstring

A string giving the window type. Possible values are ‘flat’, ‘hanning’, ‘hamming’, ‘bartlett’ or ‘blackman’

Returns:

array_like(float)

The smoothed values

Notes

Application of the smoothing window at the top and bottom of x is done by reflecting x around these points to extend it sufficiently in each direction.
