SigSpec is an acronym of "SIGnificance SPECtrum" and addresses a statistical technique to provide the reliability of periodicities in a measured (noisy and not necessarily equidistant) time series. It relies on the amplitude spectrum obtained by the Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and assigns a quantity called the spectral significance (frequently abbreviated by “sig”) to each amplitude. This quantity is a logarithmic measure of the probability that the given amplitude level is due to white noise, in the sense of a type I error. It represents the answer to the question, “What would be the chance to obtain an amplitude like the measured one or higher, if the analysed time series were random?” SigSpec may be considered a formal extension to the Lomb-Scargle periodogram, appropriately incorporating a time series to be averaged to zero before applying the DFT, which is done in many practical applications. When a zero-mean corrected dataset has to be statistically compared to a random sample, the sample mean (rather than the population mean only) has to be zero. == Probability density function (pdf) of white noise in Fourier space == Considering a time series to be represented by a set of pairs , the amplitude pdf of white noise in Fourier space, depending on frequency and phase angle may be described in terms of three parameters, , , , defining the “sampling profile”, according to : : : In terms of the phase angle in Fourier space, , with : the probability density of amplitudes is given by : where the sock function is defined by : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「SigSpec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
