Power spectrum for discrete signals.

If $x(t)$ is a real (aperiodic) power signal, i.e. \begin{equation} 0<\lim_{T\rightarrow\infty} \frac{1}{T}\int_{-T/2}^{T/2}|x(t)|^2 dt<\infty \end{equation} $x_T (t)$ is a truncated version of ...

Why is the Fourier Transform of a Lévy Process a continuous function? What about the inverse? (Bochners Theorem)

I was confronted with this question when reading "Stochastic Integration and Differential Equations" by Protter. Just after the definition of a Lévy process he says the following: If $X_t$ is a ...

Fisher information of spectrum estimator

Perhaps someone could point me to a reference I would like to calculate the Fisher information of a spectrum estimator. The spectrum estimator is a windowed Fourier transform of the data. More ...

Windowed Fourier transform of Gaussian distributed random time series

If I have a discrete time series $x(t_i)$, and each of the $x(t_{i})$ are normally distributed, i.e., come from a Gaussian distribution with mean zero and variance one, would a windowed finite Fourier ...
