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,
