Spectral efficiency — Spectral efficiency, spectrum efficiency or bandwidth efficiency refers to the information rate that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific communication system. It is a measure of how efficiently a limited frequency spectrum is… … Wikipedia
Spectral density — In statistical signal processing and physics, the spectral density, power spectral density (PSD), or energy spectral density (ESD), is a positive real function of a frequency variable associated with a stationary stochastic process, or a… … Wikipedia
Spectral density estimation — In statistical signal processing, the goal of spectral density estimation is to estimate the spectral density (also known as the power spectrum) of a random signal from a sequence of time samples of the signal. Intuitively speaking, the spectral… … Wikipedia
Spectral risk measure — A Spectral risk measure is a risk measure given as a weighted average of outcomes (which are standardly assumed to be equiprobable) where bad outcomes are included with larger weights. Definition Consider a portfolio X. There are S equiprobable… … Wikipedia
Autoregressive moving average model — In statistics, autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models, sometimes called Box Jenkins models after the iterative Box Jenkins methodology usually used to estimate them, are typically applied to time series data.Given a time series of data X t … Wikipedia
Moving average — For other uses, see Moving average (disambiguation). In statistics, a moving average, also called rolling average, rolling mean or running average, is a type of finite impulse response filter used to analyze a set of data points by creating a… … Wikipedia
Autoregressive integrated moving average — In statistics, an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model is a generalisation of an autoregressive moving average or (ARMA) model. These models are fitted to time series data either to better understand the data or to predict… … Wikipedia
