Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagg13.h>
void  nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (Integer nxy, NagMeanOrTrend mt_correction, double pxy, Integer mw, Integer is, double pw, Integer l, Integer kc, const double x[], const double y[], Complex **g, Integer *ng, NagError *fail)

Description

The supplied time series may be mean and trend corrected and tapered as in the description of nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc) before calculation of the unsmoothed sample cross-spectrum
f xy * ω = 1 2πn t=1 n y t expiωt × t=1 n x t exp -i ω t  
for frequency values ω j = 2πj K , 0 ω j π .
A correction is made for bias due to any tapering.
As in the description of nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc) for univariate frequency window smoothing, the smoothed spectrum is returned at a subset of these frequencies,
ν l = 2πl L , l = 0 , 1 , , L/2  
where [ ] denotes the integer part.
Its real part or co-spectrum cf ν l , and imaginary part or quadrature spectrum qf ν l  are defined by
f xy ν l = cf ν l + iqf ν l = ω k < π/M w ~ k f xy * ν l + ω k  
where the weights w ~ k  are similar to the weights w k  defined for nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc), but allow for an implicit alignment shift S  between the series:
w ~ k = w k exp -2 π iSk / L .  
It is recommended that S  is chosen as the lag k  at which the cross-covariances c xy k  peak, so as to minimize bias.
If no smoothing is required, the integer M  which determines the frequency window width 2π M , should be set to n .
The bandwidth of the estimates will normally have been calculated in a previous call of nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc) for estimating the univariate spectra of y t  and x t .

Arguments

1:     nxy IntegerInput
On entry: the length of the time series x  and y , n .
Constraint: nxy1 .
2:     mt_correction NagMeanOrTrendInput
On entry: whether the data are to be initially mean or trend corrected. mt_correction=Nag_NoCorrection for no correction, mt_correction=Nag_Mean for mean correction, mt_correction=Nag_Trend for trend correction.
Constraint: mt_correction=Nag_NoCorrection, Nag_Mean or Nag_Trend.
3:     pxy doubleInput
On entry: the proportion of the data (totalled over both ends) to be initially tapered by the split cosine bell taper.
A value of 0.0 implies no tapering.
Constraint: 0.0 pxy 1.0 .
4:     mw IntegerInput
On entry: the frequency width, M , of the smoothing window as 2 π / M .
A value of n  implies that no smoothing is to be carried out.
Constraint: 1 mw nxy .
5:     is IntegerInput
On entry: the alignment shift, S , between the x  and y  series. If x  leads y , the shift is positive.
Constraint: - l < is < l .
6:     pw doubleInput
On entry: the shape argument, p , of the trapezium frequency window.
A value of 0.0 gives a triangular window, and a value of 1.0 a rectangular window.
If mw=nxy  (i.e., no smoothing is carried out) then pw is not used.
Constraint: 0.0 pw 1.0  if mwnxy .
7:     l IntegerInput
On entry: the frequency division, L , of smoothed cross spectral estimates as 2 π / L .
Constraint: l1 .
l must be a factor of kc (see below).
8:     kc IntegerInput
On entry: the order of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) used to calculate the spectral estimates. kc should be a product of small primes such as 2 m  where m  is the smallest integer such that 2 m 2 n , provided m20 .
Constraints:
  • kc 2 × nxy ;
  • kc must be a multiple of l. The largest prime factor of kc must not exceed 19, and the total number of prime factors of kc, counting repetitions, must not exceed 20. These two restrictions are imposed by the internal FFT algorithm used.
9:     x[kc] const doubleInput
On entry: the nxy data points of the x  series.
10:   y[kc] const doubleInput
On entry: the nxy data points of the y  series.
11:   g Complex **Output
On exit: the complex vector which contains the ng cross spectral estimates in elements g[0]  to g[ng-1] . The y  series leads the x  series.
The memory for this vector is allocated internally. If no memory is allocated to g (e.g., when an input error is detected) then g will be NULL on return. If repeated calls to this function are required then NAG_FREE should be used to free the memory in between calls.
12:   ng Integer *Output
On exit: the number of spectral estimates, L/2 + 1 , whose separate parts are held in g.
13:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

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

nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (g13cdc) is not threaded in any implementation.

Further Comments

nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (g13cdc) carries out an FFT of length kc to calculate the sample cross spectrum. The time taken by the function for this is approximately proportional to kc×logkc (but see function document nag_sum_fft_realherm_1d (c06pac) for further details).

Example

The example program reads 2 time series of length 296. It selects mean correction and a 10% tapering proportion. It selects a 2 π / 16  frequency width of smoothing window, a window shape argument of 0.5 and an alignment shift of 3. It then calls nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (g13cdc) to calculate the smoothed sample cross spectrum and prints the results.
