bicoherence: Calculate bispectrum and bicoherence using WOSA method as detailed in Choudhury et al. (2008).

Description

bicoherence: Calculate bispectrum and bicoherence using WOSA method as detailed in Choudhury et al. (2008). Kim and Powers (1979) bicoherence normalization is used, with a conditioning factor to reduce the potential for spurious bicoherence peaks.

Usage

bicoherence(dat,overlap=50,segments=8,CF=0,CL=95,padfac=2,demean=T,detrend=T,
            taper=T,maxF=Nyq,output=0,genplot=T,color=1,id=NULL,logpwr=F,logbis=F,
            check=T,verbose=T)

Arguments

dat	Stratigraphic series to analyze. First column should be location (e.g., depth, time), second column should be data value.
overlap	Percent overlap for WOSA segments (use 0-50 percent).
segments	Number of segments for WOSA.
CF	Conditioning factor for bicoherence estimation (see pg. 70 of Choudhury et al., 2008). When CF=0, this will be automatically estimated as the 75th percentile of the magnitude-squared bicoherence denominator
CL	Confidence level to identify with a contour on the plots (0-100).
padfac	Pad with zeros to (padfac*npts) points, where npts is the original number of data points per segment.
demean	Remove mean from data series? (T or F)
detrend	Remove linear trend from data series? (T or F)
taper	Apply Hanning taper? (T or F)
maxF	Maximum frequency for analysis/plotting.
output	Return output as new data frame? 0 = none, 1 = magnitude-squared bispectrum, 2 = magnitude-squared bicoherence, 3 = magnitude-squared bicoherence confidence levels, 4 = everything.
genplot	Generate summary plots? (T or F)
color	Use (1) grayscale or (2) viridis color scale for 3D plots?
id	A vector listing frequencies to identify on the plots as diagonal lines.
logpwr	Use a log scale for power spectrum? (T or F)
logbis	Use a log scale for bispectrum? (T or F)
check	Conduct compliance checks before processing? (T or F) In general this should be activated; the option is included for Monte Carlo simulation.
verbose	Verbose output? (T or F)

Details

This function accompanies the publication Sullivan et al. (in press 2023, PNAS): "Bicoherence is a higher-order statistic, which quantifies coupling of individual frequencies (as combination and difference tones). For three frequencies, f1, f2 and f3, high bicoherence indicates that f1 + f2 = f3, with the additional property that their phases are also coupled in the data series. We employ the bicoherence approach of Choudhury, Shah and Thornhill (2008), which uses Welch Overlapping Spectral Analysis (WOSA), as this method includes improvements to the standard approach that reduce the potential for spurious bicoherence peaks. Note that reliable bicoherence estimates require a substantial increase in bandwidth resolution ("smoothing")".
