The SPECTRA Procedure

Example 25.2 Cross-Spectral Analysis

This example uses simulated data to show cross-spectral analysis for two variables X and Y. X is generated by an AR(1) process; Y is generated as white noise plus an input from X lagged 2 periods. All output options are specified in the PROC SPECTRA statement. PROC CONTENTS shows the contents of the OUT= data set.

   xl = 0; xll = 0;
   do i = - 10 to 100;
      x = .4 * xl  + rannor(123);
      y = .5 * xll + rannor(123);
      if i > 0 then output;
      xll = xl; xl = x;
   end;

The following statements plot the amplitude of the cross-spectrum estimate against frequency and against period for periods less than 25.

proc sgplot data=b;
   series x=freq y=a_01_02 / markers markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled);
   xaxis values=(0 to 4 by 1);
run;

The plot of the amplitude of the cross-spectrum estimate against frequency is shown in Output 25.2.2.
