one_over_f: Function to generate 1/f noise.

In primer: Functions and Data for the Book, a Primer of Ecology with R

Description

Generates 1/f noise with a specified power or amplitude.

Usage

one_over_f(gamma = 1, N = 200)

Arguments

gamma	spectral power, numeric, where 0 generates a white noise time series, 2 generates reddened noise. Defaults to 1 (pink).
N	length of the time series.
