mscohere: Magnitude-squared coherence

Description

Compute the magnitude-squared coherence estimates of input signals.

Usage

mscohere(
  x,
  window = nextpow2(sqrt(NROW(x))),
  overlap = 0.5,
  nfft = ifelse(isScalar(window), window, length(window)),
  fs = 1,
  detrend = c("long-mean", "short-mean", "long-linear", "short-linear", "none")
)
cohere(
  x,
  window = nextpow2(sqrt(NROW(x))),
  overlap = 0.5,
  nfft = ifelse(isScalar(window), window, length(window)),
  fs = 1,
  detrend = c("long-mean", "short-mean", "long-linear", "short-linear", "none")
)

Value

A list containing the following elements:

freq

vector of frequencies at which the spectral variables are estimated. If x is numeric, power from negative frequencies is added to the positive side of the spectrum, but not at zero or Nyquist (fs/2) frequencies. This keeps power equal in time and spectral domains. If x is complex, then the whole frequency range is returned.

coh

NULL for univariate series. For multivariate series, a matrix containing the squared coherence between different series. Column \(i + (j - 1) * (j - 2)/2 \) of coh contains the cross-spectral estimates between columns \(i\) and \(j\) of \(x\), where \(i < j\).

Arguments

x

input data, specified as a numeric vector or matrix. In case of a vector it represents a single signal; in case of a matrix each column is a signal.

window

If window is a vector, each segment has the same length as window and is multiplied by window before (optional) zero-padding and calculation of its periodogram. If window is a scalar, each segment has a length of window and a Hamming window is used. Default: nextpow2(sqrt(length(x))) (the square root of the length of x rounded up to the next power of two). The window length must be larger than 3.

overlap

segment overlap, specified as a numeric value expressed as a multiple of window or segment length. 0 <= overlap < 1. Default: 0.5.

nfft

Length of FFT, specified as an integer scalar. The default is the length of the window vector or has the same value as the scalar window argument. If nfft is larger than the segment length, (seg_len), the data segment is padded nfft - seg_len zeros. The default is no padding. Nfft values smaller than the length of the data segment (or window) are ignored. Note that the use of padding to increase the frequency resolution of the spectral estimate is controversial.

fs

sampling frequency (Hertz), specified as a positive scalar. Default: 1.

detrend

character string specifying detrending option; one of:

long-mean

remove the mean from the data before splitting into segments (default)

short-mean

remove the mean value of each segment

long-linear

remove linear trend from the data before splitting into segments

short-linear

remove linear trend from each segment

none

no detrending

Examples

fs <- 1000
f <- 250
t <- seq(0, 1 - 1/fs, 1/fs)
s1 <- sin(2 * pi * f * t) + runif(length(t))
s2 <- sin(2 * pi * f * t - pi / 3) + runif(length(t))
rv <- mscohere(cbind(s1, s2), fs = fs)
plot(rv$freq, rv$coh, type="l", xlab = "Frequency", ylab = "Coherence")
