Debiasing Welch's Method for Spectral Density Estimation
Welch 谱密度估计方法的去偏
Welch's method provides an estimator of the power spectral density that is statistically consistent. This is achieved by averaging over periodograms calculated from overlapping segments of a time series. For a finite length time series, while the variance of the estimator decreases as the number of segments increase, the magnitude of the estimator's bias increases: a bias-variance trade-off ensues when setting the segment number. We address this issue by providing a novel…
