After extensive research I found some information hinting at my freq array being wrong. I thought that the data spanned -F/2 to F/2. It seems that I should only plot the first half of the fft vector? Can anyone confirm or shed some light on this? One other thing I thought the magnitude should be

why not try spectrum (power spectrum) spectrum(y, log="no") the major spike is at 0.1 and 1/0.1 = 10Hz On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 12:13 PM, delic wrote: > > I wrote a script that I anticipating seeing a spike at  10Hz with the > function 10* sin(2*pi*10*t). > I can't figure out why my plots  do not

I wrote a script that I anticipating seeing a spike at 10Hz with the function 10* sin(2*pi*10*t). I can't figure out why my plots do not show spikes at the frequencies I expect. Am I doing something wrong or is my expectations wrong? require(stats) layout(matrix(c(1,2,3), 3, 1, byrow = TRUE))
