A Review of Maximum-Entropy Spectral Analysis.

Abstract

The maximum-entropy method (MEM) of spectral analysis is a technique for estimating the power spectra of time-series data. The purpose of this note is to survey the literature of the MEM and to provide some insight into its derivation and usage. Fortran subroutines for computing the MEM power spectra of complex-valued data are included. (Author)
