What is multitaper method?

In signal processing, multitaper is a spectral density estimation technique developed by David J. Thomson. It can estimate the power spectrum S_X of a stationary ergodic finite-variance random process X, given a finite contiguous realization of X as data.

What is a multitaper spectrogram?

The multitaper method works by averaging together multiple independent spectra estimated from a single segment of data. The innovation of the multitaper method is that, instead of using a single-taper function to compute the spectrum, it uses multiple taper functions called discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSS).

What is pxx Matlab?

pxx = periodogram( x , window ) returns the modified periodogram PSD estimate using the window, window . window is a vector the same length as x . example. pxx = periodogram( x , window , nfft ) uses nfft points in the discrete Fourier transform (DFT).

What is periodogram in time series?

A periodogram is used to identify the dominant periods (or frequencies) of a time series. This can be a helpful tool for identifying the dominant cyclical behavior in a series, particularly when the cycles are not related to the commonly encountered monthly or quarterly seasonality.
