Course objectives
The course will provide students with important facts on calculations of a frequency spectrum of typical biological time series. Principles of parametric and nonparametric algorithms for calculation of power spectral density estimations will be described in details. Properties and conditions of utilization of the particular methods will be discussed and their differences will be demonstrated in practical situations. After passing the course students are able to apply the described algorithms for a calculation of frequency spectra of data with given characteristics.
