10 Spectrum Model Continued

Power Spectral Density

The sufficient statistic for model two is the periodogram I(j/n). The mean is 2γj2n, this is the power of frequency jn.
If we plot the points (jn,f(jn)) for j=1,,m 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 [0,0.5].
After estimating γ12,,γm2, it is customary to plot f.

Equivalent Definition: Rewriting the Model in Terms of yt

Model three is written in terms of bj: Re(bj),Im(bj)i.i.dN(0,γj2).
Recall inverse DFT: yt=1nj=0n1bjexp(2πijtn). Rewrite it into yt=1nj=0n1(Re(bj)+iIm(bj))(cos(2πjtn)+isin(2πjtn))=1nj=0n1(Re(bj)cos(2πjtn)Im(bj)sin(2πjtn))+inj=0n1(Re(bj)sin(2πjtn)+Im(bj)cos(2πjtn)).
Ignore the imaginary part: yt=1nj=0n1(Re(bj)cos(2πjtn)Im(bj)sin(2πjtn))=b0n+1nj=1n1(Re(bj)cos(2πjtn)Im(bj)sin(2πjtn)).
Recall we assume n is odd and m=n12. Also use the fact from here that bnj=bj, which is Re(bnj)=Re(bj) and Im(bnj)=Im(bj). This gives yt=b0n+j=1m(2Re(bj)ncos(2πjtn)2Im(bj)nsin(2πjtn)).
Denote β0=b0n,β1j=2Re(bj)n,β2j=2Im(bj)n, then (2.1)yt=β0+j=1m(β1jcos(2πjtn)+β2jsin(2πjtn)).
So model three is equivalent to (2.1), with β1j=2Re(bj)nN(0,4n2γj2),β2j=2Re(bj)nN(0,4n2γj2).

Two Key Properties of the Spectrum Model

Consider definition 2 (2.1) of the spectrum model.
First is (recall here) Var(yt)=j=1mτj2=2nj=1mf(jn)2012f(w)dw.
Next is Cov(yt,yt+h)=j=1mτj2cos(2πjhn)=2nj=1mf(jn)cos(2πjhn)2012f(w)cos(2πwh)dw.

The Case of Even n

If n is even, 12 becomes a Fourier frequency and bn2 becoms real (sin(πt)=0). Now we can simple avoid working with 12 by taking m=n22 and using Re(bj),Im(bj)i.i.dN(0,γj2). This will be equivalent to (2.1).
