I am attempting to teach myself how to use the Allan Variance/Deviation for working with different types of noise. In the following code, a random gaussian white noise is created, and the function computes what the Allan Deviation is for each value of m
. I expect the plot should look like a decay, however I can't seem to figure out the correct way to plot this function.
WN = WhiteNoiseProcess[NormalDistribution[0, 10]];
aD[m_] :=
Module[{data, points, yBinLst, meanLst},
data = RandomFunction[WN, {1, 10000}];
points = data["Values"];
yBinLst = Partition[points, m];
meanLst = Mean /@ yBinLst;
Sqrt[Total[Differences[meanLst]^2]/(2 (Length[yBinLst] - 1))]
]
The values for each Allan Deviation as a function of m can be extracted in the following step (so I know they're being generated):
SeedRandom[0];
myValuesForM = Range[1, 5000, 1];
aD /@ myValuesForM;
If I try to do
LogLogPlot[aD[m],{m,1,5000}]
It gives a slew of errors:
- Partition::ilsmp: Single or list of positive machine-sized integers expected at position 2 of Partition[{-10.0041,-1.86738,11.3378,-10.8579,14.3292,-20.8941,6.60082,<<37>>,-21.7658,-6.81784,0.472543,2.26544,-10.0748,11.6813,<<9950>>},m]. >>
- artition::ilsmp: "Single or list of positive machine-sized integers expected at position 2 of Partition[-0.1166830194847478`,Mean[m]]. \!(*ButtonBox[\">>\",

ButtonNote->\"Partition::ilsmp\"])"
- Differences::listrp: List or SparseArray or StructuredArray expected at position 1 in Differences[Partition[-0.116683,Mean[m]]]. >>
and so on...
I have absolutely no idea what I am doing wrong... My thesis advisor suggested I make aD
a function of data
and m
Each Allan Plot example I look at on the internet is done in MatLab or R, which doesn't help because I don't know those languages at all. It is difficult enough attempting to figure out how use Mathematica without attempting to deconstruct another programming language to figure out what I am doing wrong. In any case, I hope this is just a small error due to my experience... Thanks in advance for the time taken to read this and or help. :)
This is an example of what I am attempting to accomplish
