Construction of estimates of spectral densities with a given accuracy over intersecting intervals of observations
Abstract
The article proposes a new method for determining the number of splitting intervals and the number of observations in them when building estimates of the spectral densities of stationary random processes with a given accuracy over intersecting observation intervals based on asymptotic results, obtained for the first moment of convergence rate under the assumption that the spectral density satisfies the Lipschitz condition. Two cases are considered: with a single and arbitrary data taper. As a result, an algorithm is proposed for constructing estimates for intersecting intervals of observations with a given accuracy. This algorithm was tested on model examples for random AR(4) processes, using data taper of Riesz, Bochner, Parzen. The proposed method will be useful to the researcher in analyzing data in the form of stationary random processes using nonparametric methods of spectral analysis in an automated mode.
