TSA Time-Cepstrum (Array) VI
- Updated2025-12-08
- 4 minute(s) read
Computes the single-sided time-cepstrum of a univariate time series by using a sliding window. You can use the resulting time-cepstrum to detect time-varying periodic components of a time series. Wire data to the Xt input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Inputs/Outputs
method
—
method specifies whether this VI uses the FFT-based or the autoregressive (AR) model-based method to compute the real cepstrum. The default is FFT.
quefrency offset
—
quefrency offset specifies the offset, in seconds, of the quefrency. This VI returns the real cepstrum at a certain time whose quefrency is larger than the offset value. The default is 0.
Xt
—
Xt specifies the univariate time series.
time-quefrency sampling info
—
time-quefrency sampling info specifies information about the density and the size of the time-cepstrum.
window info
—
window info specifies the information about the sliding window that divides the time series Xt into subsequences.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
AR setting
—
AR setting specifies the settings for the autoregressive (AR) model. This option is valid only when the method is AR Model.
sampling rate
—
sampling rate specifies the sampling rate, in hertz, of the univariate time series Xt. The default is 1.
cepstrogram
—
cepstrogram returns the time-quefrency representation of the time series Xt. Each row corresponds to the real cepstrum at a certain time. The number of rows in cepstrogram equals the signal length divided by time steps.
scale info
—
scale info returns the time scale and quefrency scale information of the time-quefrency representation, including the time offset, the time interval between every two contiguous rows, the quefrency offset, and the quefrency interval between every two contiguous columns of the cepstrogram.
overlap
—
overlap returns the overlap, in percentage, of the sliding window this VI applies to the time series.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
