Use Time Series to Generate and Compare Power Spectral Density.

psdr

Overview

Author: Yong-Han Hank Cheng

This package allows you to generate and compare power spectral density (PSD) plots given time series data. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to take a time series data, analyze the oscillations, and then output the frequencies of these oscillations in the time series in the form of a PSD plot.

Thus given a time series, the dominant frequencies in the time series can be identified. Additional functions in this package allow the dominant frequencies of multiple groups of time series to be compared with each other.
