Dear R-Help, I wish to simulate a process so that it has certain properties in the frequency domain. What I attempted was to generate a random time-series signal, use spec-pgram(), apply a function in the frequency domain, and then inverse transform back to the time-domain. This idea does not seem as straight forward in practice as I anticipated.
e.g. x<-ts(rnorm(1000, 0,1), frequency=256) plot(x) ## looks like noise. pgm<-spec.pgram(x, taper=0) ## a flat spectra, white noise fx<-pgm$freq^(-1)+pgm$spec ## apply a function plot(log(fx)~log(pgm$freq)) ## scaling properties x2<-fft(fx, inverse=T) plot(Re(x2)) ## not quite what I intended . Which, although I get some fantastic looking plots, isn't quite what I anticipated. How do I apply a function or filter in the frequency domain, then inverse transform to the scale of my original time series? Sincerely, KeithC.
