-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Neil Gupta Sent: Thu 6/5/2008 15:21 To: R-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Fourier Transform Hello All,
I wanted to perform a fourier transform on high frequency financial data. I have searched and have not found much on this topic for R. I was wondering if anyone has used any libraries for it or have come across any papers I may read. Many Thanks, Neil Gupta Dear Neil, I'm not sure this can be of any help, but here it is anyway. Given a real function, sample it: ------------------------------ ## Sampled density (N points) sample_rho <- function(rho,N) { xS <- seq(0,1,length=N+1)[1:N] yS <- rho(xS) xSyS <- list(xS,yS) return(xSyS) } ------------------------------ Then use these sampled values to perform Fourier transform: ------------------------------ xS <- sample_rho(rho,N)[[1]] yS <- sample_rho(rho,N)[[2]] F_complex <- fft(yS)/length(yS) F <- Mod(F_complex) f <- Arg(F_complex) F[1] <- Re(F_complex[1]) f[1] <- 0 ------------------------------ I have used these and other similar lines when writing an educational paper on Fourier transforms and aliasing: J. Foadi - "A simple approach to Fourier aliasing" - Eur J Phys 28 (2007) 551-561 My best regards, James Dr James Foadi PhD Membrane Protein Laboratory (MPL) Diamond Light Source Ltd Diamond House Harewell Science and Innovation Campus Chilton, Didcot Oxfordshire OX11 0DE Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alt Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <DIV><FONT size="1" color="gray">This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential, copyright and or privileged material, and are for the use of the intended addressee only.
