Description
Routine PFFT computes the periodogram of a stationary time series given a sample of n = NOBS observations {Xt} for t = 1, 2, …, n.
Let
for t = 1, …, N represent the centered and padded data where N = NOBS + NPAD,
and
is determined by
The discrete Fourier transform of
for t = 1, …, N is defined by
over the discrete set of frequencies
An alternative representation of
in terms of cosine and sine transforms is
where
and
The fast Fourier transform algorithm is used to compute the discrete Fourier transform. The periodogram of the sample sequence {Xt}, t = 1, …, n computed with the centered and padded sequence
t = 1, …, N is defined by
where K is the scale factor
The scale factor of the usual periodogram relates the ordinates to the sum of squares of
(Fuller 1976, pages 276–277). If the first ordinate (corresponding to k = 0) is replaced by one‑half of its value, then if N is odd, the sum of the N/2 + 1 ordinates corresponding to k = 0, 1, …, N/2 is
For N even, if the first ordinate (corresponding to k = 0) and the last ordinate (corresponding to k = N/2) are each replaced by one‑half of their values, then the same relationship holds. The modified periodogram is an asymptotically unbiased estimate of the nonnormalized spectral density function at each frequency ωk (Priestley 1981, page 417). The argument IPVER is used to specify the version of the periodogram.
The alternative representation of the discrete Fourier transform implies
where
and
represent the (scaled) cosine and sine transforms, respectively. Since the periodogram is an even function of the frequency, it is sufficient to estimate the periodogram at the discrete set of nonnegative frequencies
Use of the centered data
(without padding) instead of the original data {Xt} for t = 1, …, n does not affect the asymptotic sampling properties of the periodogram. In fact,
For ωk = 0, both
and
reflect the mean of the data. See Priestley (1981, page 417) for further discussion.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of P2FT/DP2FT. The reference is:
CALL P2FT (NOBS, X, IPRINT, XCNTR, NPAD, IFSCAL, IPVER, PM, LDPM, CX, COEF, WFFTC, CPY)
The additional arguments are as follows:
CX — Complex work vector of length N.
COEF — Complex work vector of length N.
WFFTC — Work vector of length 4N + 15.
CPY — Work vector of length 2N.
2. The centered and padded time series is defined by
CX(j) = X(j XCNTR
for j = 1, …, NOBS
CX(j) = 0
for j = NOBS + 1, …, N
where N = NOBS + NPAD.
 
3. The periodogram I(ω) is an even function of the frequency ω. The relation I(ω) = I(ω) for ω > 0.0 recovers the periodogram for negative frequencies.
4. Since cos(ω) is an even function of ω and sin(ω) is an odd function of ω, the cosine and sine transformations, respectively, satisfy A(ω) = A(ω) and B(ω) = B(ω) for ω > 0.0. Similarly, the complex Fourier coefficients, stored in COEF, satisfy COEF(ω) = conj(COEF(ω)).
5. Computation of the 2 * NOBS  1 autocovariances of X using the inverse Fourier transform of the periodogram requires NPAD = NOBS  1.
Example
Consider the Wölfer Sunspot Data (Anderson 1971, page 660) consisting of the number of sunspots observed each year from 1749 through 1924. The data set for this example consists of the number of sunspots observed from 1770 through 1869. Application of routine PFFT to these data produces the following results.
