usage: [psd,f_out] = pburg(x,poles,freq,Fs,range,method,plot_type,criterion) Calculate Burg maximum-entropy power spectral density. The functions "arburg" and "ar_psd" do all the work. See "help arburg" and "help ar_psd" for further details. ARGUMENTS: All but the first two arguments are optional and may be empty. x %% [vector] sampled data poles %% [integer scalar] required number of poles of the AR model freq %% [real vector] frequencies at which power spectral density is calculated [integer scalar] number of uniformly distributed frequency values at which spectral density is calculated. [default=256] Fs %% [real scalar] sampling frequency (Hertz) [default=1] CONTROL-STRING ARGUMENTS -- each of these arguments is a character string. Control-string arguments can be in any order after the other arguments. range %% 'half', 'onesided' : frequency range of the spectrum is from zero up to but not including sample_f/2. Power from negative frequencies is added to the positive side of the spectrum. 'whole', 'twosided' : frequency range of the spectrum is -sample_f/2 to sample_f/2, with negative frequencies stored in "wrap around" order after the positive frequencies; e.g. frequencies for a 10-point 'twosided' spectrum are 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 -0.4 -0.3 -0.2 -0.1 'shift', 'centerdc' : same as 'whole' but with the first half of the spectrum swapped with second half to put the zero-frequency value in the middle. (See "help fftshift". If "freq" is vector, 'shift' is ignored. If model coefficients "ar_coeffs" are real, the default range is 'half', otherwise default range is 'whole'. method %% 'fft': use FFT to calculate power spectral density. 'poly': calculate spectral density as a polynomial of 1/z N.B. this argument is ignored if the "freq" argument is a vector. The default is 'poly' unless the "freq" argument is an integer power of 2. plot_type %% 'plot', 'semilogx', 'semilogy', 'loglog', 'squared' or 'db': specifies the type of plot. The default is 'plot', which means linear-linear axes. 'squared' is the same as 'plot'. 'dB' plots "10*log10(psd)". This argument is ignored and a spectrum is not plotted if the caller requires a returned value. criterion %% [optional string arg] model-selection criterion. Limits the number of poles so that spurious poles are not added when the whitened data has no more information in it (see Kay & Marple, 1981). Recognised values are 'AKICc' -- approximate corrected Kullback information criterion (recommended), 'KIC' -- Kullback information criterion 'AICc' -- corrected Akaike information criterion 'AIC' -- Akaike information criterion 'FPE' -- final prediction error" criterion The default is to NOT use a model-selection criterion RETURNED VALUES: If return values are not required by the caller, the spectrum is plotted and nothing is returned. psd %% [real vector] power-spectral density estimate f_out %% [real vector] frequency values HINTS This function is a wrapper for arburg and ar_psd.
