SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE TIME(X,N)

DESCRIPTION

time(3f) performs a time series analysis on the data in the input vector x.

the analysis consists of the following--

1. a plot of autocorrelation versus lag number;
2. a test for white noise (assuming normality);
3. a ’pilot’ spectrum; and
4. 4 other estimated spectra--each based on a differing bandwidth.

in order that the results of the time series analysis be valid and properly interpreted, the input data in x should be equi-spaced in time (or whatever variable corresponds to time).

the horizontal axis of the spectra produced by time(3f) is frequency.

this frequency is measured in units of cycles per ’data point’ or, more precisely, in cycles per unit time where ’unit time’ is defined as the elapsed time between adjacent observations.

the range of the frequency axis is 0.0 to 0.5.
