Spectral Estimation

Periodogram, Welch, and Lomb-Scargle PSD, coherence, transfer function, frequency reassignment

Analyze the spectral content of uniformly or nonuniformly sampled signals using periodogram, pwelch, or plomb. Sharpen periodogram estimates using reassignment. Determine frequency-domain coherence between signals. Estimate transfer functions based on input and output measurements. Study MIMO systems in the frequency domain.
