calcFrequency: Estimate the frequency of a periodic signal

Description

Function to estimate the "dominant" frequency of a periodic time series signal.

Usage

calcFrequency(series, plot.periodogram = FALSE)

Arguments

series
numeric vector: input vector (time series)
plot.periodogram
logical: whether to plot a periodogram

Value

Details

This function uses Fourier decomposition to determine the 'major' frequency of a time series. Technically this is the frequency of the Fourier component with the highest variance. The function is used by filterTSeriesSSA to determine the frequencies of the individual SSA components.
