Frequency Estimation Based on the Cumulated Lomb-scargle Periodogram
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of estimating the period of an unknown periodic function observed in additive Gaussian noise sampled at irregularly spaced time instants in a semiparametric setting. To solve this problem, we propose a novel estimator based on the cumulated Lomb-Scargle periodogram. We prove that this estimator is consistent, asymptotically Gaussian and we provide an explicit expression of the asymptotic variance. Some Monte-Carlo experiments are then presented to support our claims.

Frequency Estimation And Generalized Lomb-Scargle Periodograms
Using Bayesian probability theory we demonstrate that the Lomb-Scargle periodogram may be generalized in a straightforward manner to nonuniformly nonsimultaneously sampled quadrature data when the sinusoid has arbitrary amplitude modulation. This generalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram is the sufficient statistic for single frequency estimation in a wide class of problems ranging from stationary f...
متن کاملSearching for biological rhythms: peak detection in the periodogram of unequally spaced data.
The classical power spectrum, computed in the frequency domain, outranks traditionally used periodograms derived in the time domain (such as the chi2 periodogram) regarding the search for biological rhythms. Unfortunately, classical power spectral analysis is not possible with unequally spaced data (e.g., time series with missing data). The Lomb-Scargle periodogram fixes this shortcoming. Howev...
متن کاملGap filling and noise reduction of unevenly sampled data by means of the Lomb - Scargle periodogram
The Lomb-Scargle periodogram is widely used for the estimation of the power spectral density of unevenly sampled data. A small extension of the algorithm of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram permits the estimation of the phases of the spectral components. The amplitude and phase information is sufficient for the construction of a complex Fourier spectrum. The inverse Fourier transform can be applied...
متن کاملM ay 2 00 3 SIGNIFICANCE OF LOG - PERIODIC SIGNATURES IN CUMULATIVE NOISE HANS - CHRISTIAN GRAF
Using methods introduced by Scargle we derive a cumulative version of the Lomb periodogram that exhibits frequency independent statistics when applied to cumulative noise. We show how this cumulative Lomb periodogram allows us to estimate the significance of log-periodic signatures in the S&P 500 anti-bubble that started in August 2000.
متن کاملSearching for Periodic Gene Expression Patterns Using Lomb-Scargle Periodograms
The Lomb-Scargle periodogram approach was applied to the search for periodically expressed genes in a Plasmodium falciparum dataset. The Lomb-Scargle algorithm has several computational advantages over more common approaches, such as Fourier analysis, including direct treatment of missing values and and a periodogram that has known statistical properties. Hierarchical clustering of periodograms...
