All,
I am relatively new to Mathematica, and attempting to build some data analysis tools for analysis of time series. Right now I am working my way through understanding the Fourier function, and having difficulty understanding the difference between Fourier and Periodogram outputs.
I set up a very simple example of a 10 Hz Sin wave and expected to get a very simple spectrograph with a peak at 10 Hz. I can get close to this with the Fourier function by squaring the absolute value of the output. Based on my reading on the Periodogram function, it should do exactly the same, but i can’t understand why the two graphs are so different.
data = Table[Sin[2*\[Pi]*10 x], {x, 0, 1, .001}] ;
ListLinePlot[Abs[Fourier[data]]^2, PlotRange -> {{0, 60}, All}]
Periodogram[data]
I’m hoping to get Periodogram to work because it seems much simpler to apply a window using this function. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.
