from multi-taper coherence method with bias correction by Peter Huybers
Multi-taper coherence using adaptive weights, bias correction, and phase confidence estimation.

%function  [s, c, ph, ci, phi] = cmtm(x,y,dt,NW,qbias,confn,qplot);
%
%Multi-taper method coherence using adaptive weighting and correcting 
%for the bias inherent to coherence estimates.  The 95% coherence
%confidence level is computed by cohconf.m.  In addition, a built-in
%Monte Carlo estimation procedure is available to estimate phase 95%
%confidence limits. 
%
% Inputs:
%         x     - Input data vector 1.  
%         y     - Input data vector 2.  
%         dt    - Sampling interval (default 1) 
%         NW    - Number of windows to use (default 8) 
%         qbias - Correct coherence estimate for bias (yes, 1)  (no, 0, default).
%         confn - Number of iterations to use in estimating phase uncertainty using a Monte Carlo
%                 method. (default 0)
%         qplot - Plot the results, (yes, 1), (No, 0, default).  The upper tickmarks indicate the
%                 bandwidth of the coherence and phase estimates.  
%
% Outputs:
%         s       - frequency
%         c       - coherence
%         ph      - phase
%         ci      - 95% coherence confidence level
%         phi     - 95% phase confidence interval, bias corrected
%                   (add and subtract phi from ph).
