Frequency Domain Diagnostics for Linear Smoothers
线性平滑器的频域诊断
Frequency domain analysis is used to examine estimates from linear smoothers operating on realizations of random fields over space and/or time. The estimates are expressed in terms of the Fourier transforms of the dependent variable and of the smoother weights. The latter is referred to as the equivalent transfer function. The data do not need to be evenly spaced to perform this analysis. The modulus of the equivalent transfer function characterizes the spectral content of…
