Hi,
I have recently used the CTS package in order to use the Lomb-Scargle periodogram (spec.ls) function. I have noticed an issue that I hoped you may be able to explain. If a regularly spaced time series has two points removed, one at either side of a single data point (thus making an irregularly spaced time series), a spectrum with a very large peak at the highest frequencies is produced. An example of this is shown below:
a <- runif(100)
x <- 1:length(a)
a <- a[-c(4,6)]
x <- x[-c(4,6)]
spec.ls(x=x, y=a, fast=FALSE, taper=0)
Does anyone know why this is? Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me with this issue.
Best regards,
Bernardo
