The concept of spectral analysis using least-squares is further developed to remove any undesired influence on the spectrum. The influence of such a ‘systematic noise’ can be eliminated without the necessity of knowing the magnitudes of the noise constituents. The technique can be used for irregularly spaced as well as equidistantly spaced data. The response to random noise is found to be constant in the frequency domain and its expected level is derived. Presence of random noise in the…

Some tests of the Vaníček Method of spectral analysis
One of the chief claims of the Vaníček Method of spectrum analysis is its, ability to remove ‘systematic noise’ from a time series with minimal distortion of the spectrum of the remaining series. In…
Least-squares frequency analysis of unequally spaced data
The statistical properties of least-squares frequency analysis of unequally spaced data are examined. It is shown that, in the least-squares spectrum of gaussian noise, the reduction in the sum of…

A Brief Overview on Least Square Spectral Analysis and Power Spectrum
TLDR
This time of experimental time series used LSSA (which used projection theorem) so that it can also analyze the time series, which is unequally spaced and unequally weighted.
A New Method for the Spectral Analysis of Unevenly Sampled Time Series
We present a new method for the spectral analysis of unevenly sampled time series. We apply the properties of inverse sums of matrices and pseudoinverses to a constrained least squares formulation of…
Stochastic significance of peaks in the least-squares spectrum
Abstract. The least-squares spectral analysis method is reviewed, with emphasis on its remarkable property to accept time series with an associated, fully populated covariance matrix. Two distinct…
Spectral analysis as applied to a set of gyrocompass transit times
Spectral analysis by least squares as developed by Vaníček is applied to a series of transit times measurements obtained with a suspended gyrocompass (Wild) electronically equipped with three…
Least-Squares Wavelet Analysis of Unequally Spaced and Non-stationary Time Series and Its Applications
Least-squares spectral analysis, an alternative to the classical Fourier transform, is a method of analyzing unequally spaced and non-stationary time series in their first and second statistical…
Spectral Analysis of Nonuniformly Sampled Data: A New Approach Versus the Periodogram
TLDR
A new enhanced method for spectral analysis of nonuniformly sampled data sequences that can be interpreted as an iteratively weighted LSP that makes use of a data-dependent weighting matrix built from the most recent spectral estimate.
Least squares spectral analysis and its application to superconducting gravimeter data analysis
Detection of a periodic signal hidden in noise is the goal of Superconducting Gravimeter (SG) data analysis. Due to spikes, gaps, datum shrifts (offsets) and other disturbances, the traditional FFT…
