Re: Periodogram and frequency

Not sure what is meant by:
"But I want this pick to be over the value 4, not 50. The 4, in this
case, means the frequency with which the 2 repeats"

---
specx_anal scales the spectra such that the area under
the curve equals the variance of the input series.
This facilitates determining the variance at a particular
frequency interval or at a frequency
       fstrt = 0.20
       flast = 0.30
       ifrq  = ind(frq.ge.fstrt .and. frw.le.flast)
       varf  = sum(px*df)
At an individual frequency fstrt=flast  (must be exact)
Attached is a simple script you can use. It uses ezfftf to explicitly
calculate the fourier coefficients and then the periodogram.
Note: I think your script had
     do i = 1, dimsizes(listTest21) -1
Should be
     do i = 1, dimsizes(listTest21)
but maybe I am wrong.
