The sufficient statistic for model two is the periodogram . The mean is , this is the power of frequency .
If we plot the points for and join the neighboring points by lines, we get a continuous function plot. This is known as the power spectral density and is defined on .
After estimating , it is customary to plot .
Equivalent Definition: Rewriting the Model in Terms of
Model three is written in terms of :
Recall inverse DFT: Rewrite it into
Ignore the imaginary part:
Recall we assume is odd and . Also use the fact from here that , which is and . This gives
Denote , then
So model three is equivalent to (2.1), with
Two Key Properties of the Spectrum Model
Consider definition 2 (2.1) of the spectrum model.
First is (recall here)
Next is
The Case of Even
If is even, becomes a Fourier frequency and becoms real (). Now we can simple avoid working with by taking and using This will be equivalent to (2.1).
