Maximum entropy spectral analysis

James G. Berryman

Abstract:

A review of the maximum entropy spectral analysis (MESA) method for time series is presented. Then, empirical evidence based on maximum entropy spectra of real seismic data is shown to suggest that $ M = 2N/\ln 2N$ is a reasonable a priori choice of the operator length $ M$ for discrete time series of length $ N$. Various data examples support this conclusion.
