 Description
The supplied time series may be mean and trend corrected and tapered as in the description of 
nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc) before calculation of the unsmoothed sample cross-spectrum
for frequency values 
, 
.
A correction is made for bias due to any tapering.
As in the description of 
nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc) for univariate frequency window smoothing, the smoothed spectrum is returned at a subset of these frequencies,
where [ ] denotes the integer part.
Its real part or co-spectrum 
, and imaginary part or quadrature spectrum 
 are defined by
where the weights 
 are similar to the weights 
 defined for 
nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc), but allow for an implicit alignment shift 
 between the series:
It is recommended that 
 is chosen as the lag 
 at which the cross-covariances 
 peak, so as to minimize bias.
If no smoothing is required, the integer  which determines the frequency window width , should be set to .
The bandwidth of the estimates will normally have been calculated in a previous call of 
nag_tsa_spectrum_univar (g13cbc) for estimating the univariate spectra of 
 and 
.

  ,  or .
 
- 3:
  
      – doubleInput
- 
On entry: the proportion of the data (totalled over both ends) to be initially tapered by the split cosine bell taper.
 A value of 0.0 implies no tapering. 
 Constraint:
  .
 
- 4:
  
      – IntegerInput
- 
On entry: the frequency width,  , of the smoothing window as  .
 A value of  implies that no smoothing is to be carried out.

- 6:
  
      – doubleInput
- 
On entry: the shape argument,  , of the trapezium frequency window.
 A value of 0.0 gives a triangular window, and a value of 1.0 a rectangular window.
 If   (i.e., no smoothing is carried out) then  pw is not used.

On entry: the frequency division, , of smoothed cross spectral estimates as . Constraint:
   .
 l must be a factor of  kc (see below).

      – IntegerInput
- 
On entry: the order of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) used to calculate the spectral estimates.   kc should be a product of small primes such as   where   is the smallest integer such that  , provided  . 
 Constraints:
      
- ;
- kc must be a multiple of l. The largest prime factor of kc must not exceed , and the total number of prime factors of kc, counting repetitions, must not exceed . These two restrictions are imposed by the internal FFT algorithm used.

    – Complex **Output
- 
On exit: the complex vector which contains the  ng cross spectral estimates in elements   to  .  The   series leads the   series.
 The memory for this vector is allocated internally.  If no memory is allocated to  g (e.g.,  when an input error is detected) then  g will be  NULL on return.  If repeated calls to this function are required then  NAG_FREE should be used to free the memory in between calls.

    – Integer *Output
- 
On exit: the number of spectral estimates,  , whose separate parts are held in  g. 
 
- 13:

 Accuracy
The FFT is a numerically stable process, and any errors introduced during the computation will normally be insignificant compared with uncertainty in the data.

 Parallelism and Performance
nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (g13cdc) is not threaded in any implementation.
nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (g13cdc) carries out an FFT of length 
kc to calculate the sample cross spectrum.  The time taken by the function for this is approximately proportional to  
 (but see function document 
nag_sum_fft_realherm_1d (c06pac) for further details).

 Example
The example program reads 2 time series of length 296.  It selects mean correction and a 10% tapering proportion.  It selects a  frequency width of smoothing window, a window shape argument of 0.5 and an alignment shift of 3.  It then calls nag_tsa_spectrum_bivar (g13cdc) to calculate the smoothed sample cross spectrum and prints the results.
