Power Spectral Density and Smoothing Analysis

This package provides tools for analyzing time series data using spectral methods, including Fourier and wavelet transforms. It includes functionality for smoothing data, estimating the power spectral density (PSD) using both FFT and wavelet methods, and other utility functions for handling spectral data.

Features

• Data Smoothing:

  • smooth: Logarithmic smoothing of data, using indices generated based on the FFT frequency distribution.
  • smoothing_function: Core function for smoothing with a logarithmic window size.

• Power Spectral Density Estimation:

  • TracePSD: PSD estimation using the Fourier transform for a 3-component signal.
  • trace_PSD_wavelet: PSD estimation using the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), with optional Cone of Influence (CoI) consideration.

Installation

Clone this repository to your local machine and install the required dependencies:

git clone <repository_url>
cd <repository_name>
pip install -r requirements.txt

Dependencies

• numpy: For numerical operations and FFT.
• pycwt: For wavelet analysis.
• numba: For JIT-compiled performance optimization of smoothing functions.

Usage

1. Smoothing Data

import numpy as np
from your_package_name import smooth

# Example data
x = np.fft.rfftfreq(1000, d=0.01)
y = np.random.random(len(x))

# Apply smoothing
xoutmean, yout = smooth(x, y, pad=10)

2. PSD Estimation with FFT

from your_package_name import TracePSD

# Example data
x = np.sin(np.linspace(0, 10, 1000))
y = np.cos(np.linspace(0, 10, 1000))
z = np.sin(np.linspace(0, 10, 1000)) * 0.5

dt = 0.01  # Sampling time
freqs, B_pow = TracePSD(x, y, z, dt, norm='forward')

3. PSD Estimation with Wavelet Transform

from your_package_name import trace_PSD_wavelet

# Example data
x = np.sin(np.linspace(0, 10, 1000))
y = np.cos(np.linspace(0, 10, 1000))
z = np.sin(np.linspace(0, 10, 1000)) * 0.5

dt = 0.01  # Sampling time
dj = 0.1   # Scale resolution

db_x, db_y, db_z, freqs, PSD, scales, coi = trace_PSD_wavelet(x, y, z, dt, dj, consider_coi=True)

Example Plots

You can visualize the smoothed data or PSD using libraries like matplotlib.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Plot FFT-based PSD
plt.loglog(freqs, B_pow)
plt.title('Power Spectral Density (FFT)')
plt.xlabel('Frequency')
plt.ylabel('PSD')
plt.grid()
plt.show()

# Plot Wavelet-based PSD
plt.loglog(freqs, PSD)
plt.title('Power Spectral Density (Wavelet)')
plt.xlabel('Frequency')
plt.ylabel('PSD')
plt.grid()
plt.show()
