psdStatistics: Return statistics for a set of PSDs

In IRISSeismic: Classes and Methods for Seismic Data Analysis

Return statistics for a set of PSDs

Description

The psdStatistics function calculates a variety of information associated with the incoming set of PSDs.

Usage

psdStatistics(PSDs, evalresp=NULL)

Arguments

PSDs	either a list as returned by psdList or a dataframe of PSD values obtained from the BSS
evalresp	dataframe of freq, amp, phase information matching output of getEvalresp, optional

Value

A list of elements:

• noiseMatrix – matrix of corrected power levels; rows=PSDs, columns=frequencies

• pdfMatrix – matrix of probability density values; rows=dB level, columns=frequencies

• freq – vector of frequencies associated statistics vectors and with matrix columns

• pdfBins – vector of power values (dB) associated with pdfMatrix rows

• max – maximum power level at each frequency

• min – minimum power level at each frequency

• mean – mean power level at each frequency

• median – median power level at each frequency

• mode – mode of power level at each frequency (obtained from pdfMatrix)

• nlnm – low noise model power level at each frequency

• nhnm – high noise model power level at each frequency

• pct_above – percent of PSDs above the high noise model at each frequency

• pct_below – percent of PSDS below the low noise model at each frequency

A variety of plots can be generated form the information in this list.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Create a new IrisClient
iris <- new("IrisClient", debug=TRUE)

# Get seismic data
starttime <- as.POSIXct("2011-05-05", tz="GMT") # 2011.125
endtime <- starttime + 1*24*3600
st <- getDataselect(iris,"IU","GRFO","--","BHE",starttime,endtime)

# Generate power spectral density for each hour long segment
psdList <- psdList(st)

# Generate Statistics
stats <- psdStatistics(psdList)

# Just for fun plot
logPeriod <- log10(1/stats$freq)
plot(logPeriod,stats$max,ylim=c(-200,-50), las=1,
     xlab="log10(period)", ylab="Power (dB)",
     main="Model 'normal background noise' area and area of seismic signal.")
points(logPeriod,stats$min)

# Overlay a polygon showing the range between the noise models
x <- c(logPeriod,rev(logPeriod),logPeriod[1])
y <- c(stats$nhnm,rev(stats$nlnm),stats$nhnm[1])
transparentBlack <- adjustcolor('black',0.4)
polygon(x,y,col=transparentBlack)

# Overlay a polygon showing the range of measured values
y <- c(stats$max,rev(stats$min),stats$max[1])
transparentBlue <- adjustcolor('blue',0.6)
polygon(x,y,col=transparentBlue)
