PERIODOGRAM - Periodogram Power Spectral Density (PSD) Estimate

Calculates the periodogram power spectral density estimate value of a time series.

Syntax

X

is the univariate time series data (a one dimensional array of cells (e.g. rows or columns)).

Order

is the time order in the data series (i.e. the first data point's corresponding date (earliest date=1 (default), latest date=0)).

Order	Description
1	ascending (the first data point corresponds to the earliest date) (default)
0	descending (the first data point corresponds to the latest date)

Option

are the pre-processing flag for the input time series (1 = none (default), 2 = detrend-only, 3 = difference only, 4 = auto processing).

Method	Description
1	None (default)
2	Detrend (Remove deterministic trend)
3	Difference (1-L)
4	Automatic (detrend/difference)

$\alpha$

is the statistical significance level (i.e. alpha) - Needed for the auto-processing procedure. If missing or omitted, an alpha value of 5% is assumed.

Remarks

1. The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
2. The time series may include missing values (e.g. #N/A) at either end.
3. In the auto-processing option, the periodogram function uses ADF test to examine stationarity and differentiate between a deterministic trend and a stochastic drift.
4. The step (k) must be less than or equal to the time series size, or else an error value (#VALUE!) is returned.
5. The PERIODOGRAM function is available starting with version 1.64 TURRET.
