## USAGE:
##   [spectra,freq] = pwelch(x,window,overlap,Nfft,Fs,
##                           range,plot_type,detrend,sloppy)
##     Estimate power spectral density of data "x" by the Welch (1967)
##     periodogram/FFT method.  All arguments except "x" are optional.
##         The data is divided into segments.  If "window" is a vector, each
##     segment has the same length as "window" and is multiplied by "window"
##     before (optional) zero-padding and calculation of its periodogram. If
##     "window" is a scalar, each segment has a length of "window" and a
##     Hamming window is used.
##         The spectral density is the mean of the periodograms, scaled so that
##     area under the spectrum is the same as the mean square of the
##     data.  This equivalence is supposed to be exact, but in practice there
##     is a mismatch of up to 0.5% when comparing area under a periodogram
##     with the mean square of the data.
##
##  [spectra,freq] = pwelch(x,y,window,overlap,Nfft,Fs,
##                          range,plot_type,detrend,sloppy,results)
##     Two-channel spectrum analyser.  Estimate power spectral density, cross-
##     spectral density, transfer function and/or coherence functions of time-
##     series input data "x" and output data "y" by the Welch (1967)
##     periodogram/FFT method.
##       pwelch treats the second argument as "y" if there is a control-string
##     argument "cross", "trans", "coher" or "ypower"; "power" does not force
##     the 2nd argument to be treated as "y".  All other arguments are
##     optional.  All spectra are returned in matrix "spectra".
##
##  [spectra,Pxx_ci,freq] = pwelch(x,window,overlap,Nfft,Fs,conf,
##                                 range,plot_type,detrend,sloppy)
##  [spectra,Pxx_ci,freq] = pwelch(x,y,window,overlap,Nfft,Fs,conf,
##                                 range,plot_type,detrend,sloppy,results)
##     Estimates confidence intervals for the spectral density.
##     See Hint (7) below for compatibility options.  Confidence level "conf"
##     is the 6th or 7th numeric argument.  If "results" control-string
##     arguments are used, one of them must be "power" when the "conf"
##     argument is present; pwelch can estimate confidence intervals only for
##     the power spectrum of the "x" data.  It does not know how to estimate
##     confidence intervals of the cross-power spectrum, transfer function or
##     coherence; if you can suggest a good method, please send a bug report.
##
## ARGUMENTS
## All but the first argument are optional and may be empty, except that
## the "results" argument may require the second argument to be "y".
##
## x           %% [non-empty vector] system-input time-series data
## y           %% [non-empty vector] system-output time-series data
##
## window      %% [real vector] of window-function values between 0 and 1; the
##             %%       data segment has the same length as the window.
##             %%       Default window shape is Hamming.
##             %% [integer scalar] length of each data segment.  The default
##             %%       value is window=sqrt(length(x)) rounded up to the
##             %%       nearest integer power of 2; see 'sloppy' argument.
##
## overlap     %% [real scalar] segment overlap expressed as a multiple of
##             %%       window or segment length.   0 <= overlap < 1,
##             %%       The default is overlap=0.5 .
##
## Nfft        %% [integer scalar] Length of FFT.  The default is the length
##             %%       of the "window" vector or has the same value as the
##             %%       scalar "window" argument.  If Nfft is larger than the
##             %%       segment length, "seg_len", the data segment is padded
##             %%       with "Nfft-seg_len" zeros.  The default is no padding.
##             %%       Nfft values smaller than the length of the data
##             %%       segment (or window) are ignored silently.
##
## Fs          %% [real scalar] sampling frequency (Hertz); default=1.0
##
## conf        %% [real scalar] confidence level between 0 and 1.  Confidence
##             %%       intervals of the spectral density are estimated from
##             %%       scatter in the periodograms and are returned as Pxx_ci.
##             %%       Pxx_ci(:,1) is the lower bound of the confidence
##             %%       interval and Pxx_ci(:,2) is the upper bound.  If there
##             %%       are three return values, or conf is an empty matrix,
##             %%       confidence intervals are calculated for conf=0.95 .
##             %%       If conf is zero or is not given, confidence intervals
##             %%       are not calculated. Confidence intervals can be
##             %%       obtained only for the power spectral density of x;
##             %%       nothing else.
##
## CONTROL-STRING ARGUMENTS -- each of these arguments is a character string.
##   Control-string arguments must be after the other arguments but can be in
##   any order.
##
## range     %% 'half',  'onesided' : frequency range of the spectrum is
##           %%       zero up to but not including Fs/2.  Power from
##           %%       negative frequencies is added to the positive side of
##           %%       the spectrum, but not at zero or Nyquist (Fs/2)
##           %%       frequencies.  This keeps power equal in time and
##           %%       spectral domains.  See reference [2].
##           %% 'whole', 'twosided' : frequency range of the spectrum is
##           %%       -Fs/2 to Fs/2, with negative frequencies

##
## HINTS
## 1) EMPTY ARGS:
##    if you don't want to use an optional argument you can leave it empty
##    by writing its value as [].
## 2) FOR BEGINNERS:
##    The profusion of arguments may make pwelch difficult to use, and an
##    unskilled user can easily produce a meaningless result or can easily
##    mis-interpret the result.  With real data "x" and sampling frequency
##    "Fs", the easiest and best way for a beginner to use pwelch is
##    probably "pwelch(x,[],[],[],Fs)".  Use the "window" argument to
##    control the length of the spectrum vector.  For real data and integer
##    scalar M, "pwelch(x,2*M,[],[],Fs)" gives an M+1 point spectrum.
##    Run "demo pwelch" (octave only).
## 3) WINDOWING FUNCTIONS:
##    Without a window function, sharp spectral peaks can have strong
##    sidelobes because the FFT of a data in a segment is in effect convolved
##    with a rectangular window.  A window function which tapers off
##    (gradually) at the ends produces much weaker sidelobes in the FFT.
##    Hann (hanning), hamming, bartlett, blackman, flattopwin etc are
##    available as separate Matlab/sigproc or Octave functions.  The sidelobes
##    of the Hann window have a roll-off rate of 60dB/decade of frequency.
##    The first sidelobe of the Hamming window is suppressed and is about 12dB
##    lower than the first Hann sidelobe, but the roll-off rate is only
##    20dB/decade.  You can inspect the FFT of a Hann window by plotting
##    "abs(fft(postpad(hanning(256),4096,0)))".
##    The default window is Hamming.
## 4) ZERO PADDING:
##    Zero-padding reduces the frequency step in the
##    spectrum, and produces an artificially smoothed spectrum.  For example,
##    "Nfft=2*length(window)" gives twice as many frequency values, but
##    adjacent PSD (power spectral density) values are not independent;
##    adjacent PSD values are independent if "Nfft=length(window)", which is
##    the default value of Nfft.
## 5) REMOVING MEAN FROM SIGNAL:
##    If the mean is not removed from the signal there is a large spectral
##    peak at zero frequency and the sidelobes of this peak are likely to
##    swamp the rest of the spectrum.  For this reason, the default behavior
##    is to remove the mean.  However, the matlab pwelch does not do this.
## 6) WARNING ON CONFIDENCE INTERVALS
##    Confidence intervals are obtained by measuring the sample variance of
##    the periodograms and assuming that the periodograms have a Gaussian
##    probability distribution.  This assumption is not accurate.  If, for
##    example, the data (x) is Gaussian, the periodogram has a Rayleigh
##    distribution.  However, the confidence intervals may still be  useful.
##
## 7) COMPATIBILITY WITH Matlab R11, R12, etc
##    When used without the second data (y) argument, arguments are compatible
##    with the pwelch of Matlab R12, R13, R14, 2006a and 2006b except that
##     1) overlap is expressed as a multiple of window length ---
##        effect of overlap scales with window length
##     2) default values of length(window), Nfft and Fs are more sensible, and
##     3) Goertzel algorithm is not available so Nfft cannot be an array of
##        frequencies as in Matlab 2006b.
##    Pwelch has four persistent Matlab-compatibility levels.  Calling pwelch
##    with an empty first argument sets the order of arguments and defaults
##    specified above in the USAGE and ARGUMENTS section of this documentation.
##          prev_compat=pwelch([]);
##          [Pxx,f]=pwelch(x,window,overlap,Nfft,Fs,conf,...);
##    Calling pwelch with a single string argument (as described below) gives
##    compatibility with Matlab R11 or R12, or the R14 spectrum.welch
##    defaults.  The returned value is the PREVIOUS compatibility string.
##
##    Matlab R11:  For compatibility with the Matlab R11 pwelch:
##          prev_compat=pwelch('R11-');
##          [Pxx,f]=pwelch(x,Nfft,Fs,window,overlap,conf,range,units);
##          %% units of overlap are "number of samples"
##          %% defaults: Nfft=min(length(x),256), Fs=2*pi, length(window)=Nfft,
##          %%           window=Hanning, do not detrend,
##          %% N.B.  "Sloppy" is not available.
##
##    Matlab R12:  For compatibility with Matlab R12 to 2006a pwelch:
##          prev_compat=pwelch('R12+');
##          [Pxx,f]=pwelch(x,window,overlap,nfft,Fs,...);
##          %% units of overlap are "number of samples"
##          %% defaults: length(window)==length(x)/8, window=Hamming,
##          %%           Nfft=max(256,NextPow2), Fs=2*pi, do not detrend
##          %% NextPow2 is the next power of 2 greater than or equal to the
##          %% window length. "Sloppy", "conf" are not available.  Default
##          %% window length gives very poor amplitude resolution.
##
##    To adopt defaults of the Matlab R14 "spectrum.welch" spectrum object
##    associated "psd" method.
##          prev_compat=pwelch('psd');
##          [Pxx,f] = pwelch(x,window,overlap,Nfft,Fs,conf,...);
##          %% overlap is expressed as a percentage of window length,
##          %% defaults: length(window)==64, Nfft=max(256,NextPow2), Fs=2*pi
##          %%           do not detrend
##          %% NextPow2 is the next power of 2 greater than or equal to the
##          %% window length. "Sloppy" is not available.
##          %% Default window length gives coarse frequency resolution.
