Idl Signal Processing Library 1.0

Abstract

We make available a library of documented IDL .pro files as well as a shareable object library that allows IDL to call routines from LAPACK. The routines are for use in the spectral analysis of time series data. The primary focus of these routines are David Thomson's multitaper methods but a whole range of functions will be made available in future revisions of the submission. At present routines are provided to carry out the following operations: calculate prolate spheroidal sequences and eigenvalues, project time-series into frequency bands, calculate spectral estimates with or without moving windows, and calculate the cross-coherence between two time series as a function of frequency as well as the coherence between frequencies for a single time series.Comment: 13 IDL .pro files, 1 .html file, 1 .ps file, 1 license file.
